LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The J.B. Speed School of Engineering’s annual Engineering Expo (E-Expo) for students of all ages and their families takes place March 7.

- Demonstrations of a hydraulic robotic arm and activities such as rocket assembly and making popsicle stick structures
- Tours of research and teaching labs.
In addition, stations will be set up in the Belknap Academic Building where participants can join in a community service project by preparing bagged lunches for Wayside Christian Mission. A book drive will also be held with all books donated to Wayside Christian Mission.
