The Central Texas Discover Engineering Committee's mission is to encourage school children in central Texas to pursue technology careers by providing role models from the local engineering community. Diverse groups of engineers provide hands on experiments that demonstrate teamwork and logical processes while discussing their jobs and the reasons they chose engineering.
