Celebrating #ProfessionalEngineersDay! Young minds from Y.O.U. gained hands-on experience in engineering at the Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center thanks to Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor society Northwestern University. Activities included bridge building, paper airplanes, and culminating in a tour of the design workshop. These experiences highlight the benefits of engineering, sparking their interests and potential career paths and providing opportunities to challenge problem-solving skills, creativity, and innovation.
