Please help us alert youth, parents and educators in your area to attend the fifth annual Science and Technology Awareness Day on May 10, 2008. It will take place from noon to 4 p.m., at the Expo Community Center, 3990 S. Menlo Avenue in Los Angeles. “Energy for the Future” will be the theme.
Local area students, elementary to high school, are urged to take part in engineering and scientific experiments lead by professionals. Other displays, exhibits and activities will be offered as well as giveaways for participating students.
The City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works staff and Los Angeles African American Engineers and Professional Employees Association (AAEPEA) sponsors Awareness Day each year to generate interest in science, technology, and engineering in young people who are generally underrepresented in these fields of study. By conducting fun, hands-on activities like these, AAEPEA believes it can motivate youth to study math and science and pursue Engineering-related majors in college.
