INNOVATION May-June 2016

APEGBC hosted another successful National Engineering and Geoscience Month (NEGM) this year. The theme in 2016 was Imagine the Possibilities . By looking through the eyes of a professional engineer or professional geoscientist, we can view the world differently and appreciate the work engineers and geoscientists do. APEGBC and our branches around the province organised family-oriented events such as Engineering and Geoscience Fest, Popsicle Stick Bridge Building contests (See previous page), Science Games, Dig Day, and the NEGM Challenge. For the NEGM Challenge (C, Previous page), teams of APEGBC members submitted photos demonstrating the weekly challenge. The winning team was Team

Omnimus Maximus from Omni Engineering: Kristine Solano, AScT, Andre Herath, EIT, and civil engineering co-op student Shane Duke. Along with the coveted NEGM Challenge Cup and APEGBC swag, $1,000 is being donated in Team Omnimus Maximus’s name to GeeringUp!, in support of science-education outreach. APEGBC and the Applied Science Technology and Technicians of BC (ASTTBC) held a drawing contest for kids ages 4 to 12. Kids were asked to draw a picture of how they could improve the world as a geocientist or engineer. APEGBC thanks all participants.
