Grades 1-12
"Visions of Things to Come"

National Engineering and Geoscience Week is an annual event designed to increase public awareness about the important roles that engineers, geologists and geophysicists play in the everyday lives of Canadians. In Alberta, this event is sponsored by The Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA). Engineers, geologists and geophysicists use math, science, ideas, teamwork and technology to solve problems and make our lives easier and more comfortable. Their "Vision of Things to Come" will continue to make the world better and help people have healthier and safer lives.

APEGGA is organizing activities around the province during National Engineering and Geoscience Week. In addition to the Provincial School Challenge, APEGGA sponsors the Edmonton Regional Science Olympics, a poster and essay contest in Calgary, the Peace Country Science Olympics, classroom visits, mall science exhibits and other regional events. APEGGA will also publish a newspaper supplement in Alberta's two largest daily newspapers on February 27. For more information, visit our web site at: www.apegga.org/science.

APEGGA is responsible for regulating the practice of the professions of engineering, geology and geophysics in Alberta. With more than 37,000 members, APEGGA is the largest professional association in Alberta.
