Nuclear Science Merit Badge Class

In conjunction with National Engineers Week, the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is hosting an engineering fair and other activities at its Rice Campus. The purpose of the engineering fair is to communicate what engineers do, and attract young people to careers in science, technology, and engineering. The fair’s open house will consist of presentations and hands-on demonstrations by local professional engineering societies and businesses. Visit www.dupageeweek.iit.edu  for more information. A Nuclear Science merit badge class for Boy Scouts will be offered on February 13, 2010. The open house and other activities will be held on February 20, 2010.
