Engineers in Real Life is back in person Feb 25th, 2023 from 9am – noon at Clear Lake High School. It is a cost-free program open to all K-12 students in the Houston/Galveston area. (Engineers needed.)

Engineers in Real Life (EIRL) was created in the 2015/16 school year so engineers can show K-12 students the many different types of engineering careers. All K-12 students from the Houston/Galveston area are welcome to attend on February 25th, 2023 from 9am – noon at Clear Lake High School (located near NASA).

The last time it was held in person was February 2020 – right before the big shut-down. It had 160 engineers from all sorts of industries – NASA, medical devices, environmental cleanup, industrial, infrastructure (electricity, water, roads), chemical, oil & gas, marine, and more – as well as professors and students from (ABET accredited) engineering programs as diverse as San Jac, Lamar U, Texas State U, TAMU Galveston, UH, Rice University, and more.

If you or your engineering team would be interested in participating to inspire the next generation, sign up at www.EngineersIRL.org or reach out to [info@egrIRL.org](mailto:info@egrIRL.org) .

If you are a student or parent, there is a Student sign up that will be used to send a map and list of engineers a few days before the event so you can go straight to what interests you the most. Sign up is NOT NECESSARY TO ATTEND, but is encouraged.

There is a sign up for Educators or other K12 groups (including scouts, churches, etc.) Sign ups are not required, but will get you early info on floorplan and engineers, as well as parking and other logistic information.

This is a no-cost event brought to you by the NSF funded BRAIN Center (headquarters at UH main campus), Clear Lake HS PTSA, CCISD, IEEE (Houston and Galveston Bay), and NSBE.
