You are cordially invited to join the Engineering, Science, & Technology Council of Houston for the 2017 Awards Celebration 

The Reception will provide time for networking among Engineering, Science & Technology Council of Houston (ECH) member societies regarding common interests and challenges. Area leaders in K-12 Outreach will discuss opportunities for ECH member societies.  In addition, Science Fair Grand Prize winners and Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) Summer Interns will display their exhibits and discuss their projects.

Saud Memon will present the HMNS Interns for this summer and will briefly discuss the annual intern program. HMNS appreciates the local science and engineering organizations, such as ECH, that support this program, and welcomes other societies to actively participate in this program. There are always opportunities for more summer internships. The interns research, build, and automate some of the permanent exhibits of the museum and planetarium. For example, they built the molecular models in the Chemistry Hall and developed the interactive Q&A on the associated touch screens. Interns also wrote the upgraded computer programming for the planetarium, the butterfly exhibit, and the live feed from the oceanographic research ship, Nautilus. They also conduct museum tours for students.

Annual Excellence in Education awards will be announced after dinner. They recognize particularly successful programs by corporations, nonprofit organizations, and school systems.
