Engineer It! Exploring Ancient Technologies

Tuesday, July 11, 2017 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm


Fort Rock Sandle from the Museum of Natural and Cultural History at University of Oregon

Build a shelter, design a boat, weave a shoe, or invent a fishing tool! Try out your own engineering skills while discovering technologies designed by Oregon’s first engineers. Native American people have always used science and engineering to create effective tools, homes, clothing, cooking methods and more - passing this knowledge down through generations. Many of these innovations are still being used today! Join us to explore a collection of Oregon artifacts from the museum and engage in fun, hands-on engineering challenges.

Ages 5 and up.
