Join the ASCE Austin Branch for their upcoming volunteer event, the 2024 ASCE Kealing Engineering Blitz, on Thursday, December 19. This event is also held on December 18.

When: 8:15 AM – 10:00 AM CT

Where: Kealing Middle School, 1067 Pennsylvania Ave, Austin, TX 78702

It’s that time of year again! The Kealing Engineering Blitz is back! We had a super successful event last year and we want to continue that momentum.

We’re seeking volunteers to run the Engineering Blitz contests for Wednesday, December 18, and Thursday, December 19. Students will compete to build the tallest tower out of plastic cups/popsicle sticks or strongest paper bridge loaded with nuts/bolts/washers.

How does it work?

ASCE Volunteers will sign in at the front door and meet in the Kealing Middle School Library to pick up coffee and the contest supplies.

Volunteers will need to register and sign up for a background check here: https://austinisd.voly.org/

NOTE: choose the STEM Enrichment Category when prompted.

Students will be in their Advisory classroom, volunteers will bring the contest supplies to the classroom and introduce the contest. Students will break out into groups of 4-5 and begin competing. When the contest is over they will award the “Grand Prize” to the team that wins and the participation prizes to all students. Advisory teachers will be there to help with class management, but the volunteers will be running the show!
