At the luncheon, several awards/prizes are presented, including Technologist of the Year, Engineer of the Year, Top 3 under 30, High School Design Competition, scholarships and poster competition. Each luncheon is themed, and this year's theme is Engineering and Medicine. The luncheon is designed to promote the engineering and engineering technology professions and increase public awareness.

Under strict rules, limited resources, and an intense six-week time limit, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It's as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Each FIRST Robotics Competition is an event where teams compete for awards and a spot at the Ontario Provincial Championship. Events offer students an amazing experience as they…

The bridge building competition is part of an ongoing PEO outreach program which seeks to foster innovation in schools. The competition introduces and discusses real-life technical issues faced by modern engineers, complementing the curricula being taught in schools. Students grades 5 to 12, construct bridges from balsa wood. that will be tested to destruction to determine the load carrying ability of the structures and will be judged on the basis of craftsmanship, conformity to guidelines and engineering content. There are…

NEM Speaker Series at Queen's University is an event to celebrate the end of National Engineering Month and will be conducted at Queen's University! The event will be attended by members of the Queen's chapter and the Queen's student population. It will be held as a speaker series and will including speakers who will talk on their experience and ideas revolving EWB and NEM.

This will be our 14th annual popsicle stick bridge building competition. We invite all elementary school students (grades 4 to 8) in Durham region to participate. Students build a popsicle stick bridge using not more than 200 popsicle span 500mm before the event. Teams bring their bridges to our event and we will judge and test each bridge to find the strongest bridge.

We are hosting an Impromptu Design Competition every year in March for grades 7-12. They are given the criteria the day-of and have to work as a team to build a working prototype and compete against others.

Students from in and around Kingston will build bridges out of popsicle sticks in the months leading up to the main event, where they will be subject to increasing loading until they break. Local groups will showcase different applications of engineering in the real world, and guests will participate in engineering-related activities for prizes.

Fifty grade-school students and their parents are invited to participate in The Catapult Challenge, an interactive workshop where you can design and built different catapults. Each catapult will undergo several tests to determine accuracy and power! Volunteers will also be showcasing what engineering is, what it means to be an engineer and the value of continuing STEM in school.
