Thanks to all the families and exhibitors that made this event a success!
 

Mission: Fun

Status: Completed

Flagship members and their families had a great Saturady at the new ASNE HQ. The food was great and activities ranged far and wide. The youngest engineers built boats with Joe and Dave at Teaching with Small Boats, used cutting-edge technology with Cheyanne and Kathleen at Building Momentum, and used robots with Charlotte, NSWC Carderock's STEM Director. In addition, ASNE staff hosted multiple boat building stations outside and a FLEET arcade room. College-focused engineers learned about ASNE's scholarship program and our Promoting Electric Propulsion competitions. Current engineers networked with each other, ASNE staff, and other professional organizations.

This event was only possible because of the hard work it took to get the new ASNE HQ not only functional, but gorgeous. The recently-renovated space in north Alexandria is more appropriately sized for ASNE and has the technology we need to support members around the country and during events like this one. The open floor plan allowed us to transition from hands-on engineeirng to sit down lunch to vitual engineer challenges easily. I was a great a free, fun day of engineering and friendship!

Details that Publicized the Event

Join your fellow Flagship members for a free community day at the new ASNE HQ. The recently-renovated space in north Alexandria is a beautiful space for us to break bread and share conversations with fellow engineers on Saturday, 2/22, from 10am to 2pm. For the kids, we will set up an arcade using ASNE's naval engineering video game FLEET, have boat-building activities, and introduce many of our local STEM partners (see below for more details). Everyone will be treated to Mission BBQ and welcomed to explore the naval engineering resources and history ASNE maintains. It will be a free, fun day!
