Visioneering 2005: Entertainment of Tomorrow

Engineering in a rock concert atmosphere! Visioneering brings together students, working engineers, innovators, and noted national figures to celebrate the ways engineering makes a difference in the world around us. Now in its 5 th year, Visioneering has grown from a local live event reaching 250 Dallas-Fort Worth area middle school students to a national event and TV show that reaches over 8 million students!

New for 2005…Thanks to Nortel Networks, Visioneering will include a live webcast reaching up to 100 streams plus an archived webcast available after the event. Join us as we excite tomorrow’s engineers about math, science, engineering and technology!

Here’s how it works… Bring area students, teachers, and parents to your site for a day of engineering activities. We provide the Opening Rally and Closing Celebration for your National E-Week kick-off event. Start the day with us as you gather in your venue and participate in the Opening Rally webcast –hear from high-energy speakers and participate in a Q&A with the speakers. Then, breakout and participate in activities of your choice led by your people. Finally, cap off the day as you join us again for a concert featuring a current artist popular with students.
