Thank you for giving your time and expertise at this year’s Engineering Fest. We are so grateful for your commitment to our programs and inspiring young people and their families through the power of engineering. This weekend we served 1,087 guests from 141 unique zip codes making 2019 one of our biggest E-Fests, yet!
Most guests we spoke with were brand new to our Center with no past experience with the Chicago Architecture Foundation/Center. There were several people who shared that the programs sparked an interest in engineering and design with their young learner.
Fun quotes:
• “I can’t wait to come back and see what your other programs are!” – parent

• “I saw so many things that I never knew existed; architecture is kind of like a unicorn!” – 6-year-old participant
A Facebook poll was uploaded on Monday to gain feedback from participants, and the reoccurring praise centered around the strong programs and engaged volunteers; THANK YOU! We couldn’t have done it without YOU!
