The Explore Engineering Expo, hosted by CMU’s Engineering Ambassadors, is an in-person experience held on CMU’s Pittsburgh campus in the spring. This interactive event features engineering demos and activities for students in grades 3 through 8.

The Spring 2025 Expo, led by our Engineering Ambassadors, let participants step into the shoes of interplanetary city planners! Through hands-on activities and interactive exhibits, attendees got to imagine—and start building—their very own civilization on a brand-new planet.
