INNOVATION May-June 2014

NEGM Drawing Contest To get youth thinking about the relevance of engineering and geoscience in their lives, APEGBC teamed up with the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC (ASTTBC) and held a drawing contest that encouraged children to think creatively about science and science-based jobs. They were asked to submit drawings of an example of something that was once impossible but has been made possible because of engineering or geoscience. We received over 100 submissions from around BC. Here are first place winning entries in each age category:

Ages 4 – 5 Isabel Legg, age 5

Ages 6 – 8 Abdullah Siddique, age 8

Ages 9 – 12 Aiden Cumming-Teicher, age 9

APEGBC would like to thank everyone who submitted photos, videos and drawings. To view all submissions, visit apeg.bc.ca/negm.
