What does a bridge actually solve?
On May 20, U.S. high school students will learn live, with Nicola Turrini of @fika_org (formerly Bridges to Prosperity).
ET's Bridges Lab goes beyond the math. Students weigh real tradeoffs: load, terrain, cost, and who gets access when the bridge gets built.

✨ Imagine a world where every student has the chance to be an engineer.
That’s what Engineering Tomorrow is all about.
Our mission:
🌟 Break down barriers by making engineering accessible to ALL students
🌟 Inspire more young people to pursue engineering in college
🌟 Equip tomorrow’s leaders with the skills to solve today’s toughest challenges
From 🚗 electric cars to 🌊 clean water to 🌱 renewable energy, our no-cost labs are sparking curiosity and building confidence in high school classrooms nationwide.
💻 Explore our impact and see how your students can get involved by visiting our website (link in bio).
5 million labs. 🎉
And every one of them started the same way: a student walked in not quite sure what to expect, and an engineer opened doors.
> Renewable energy. Robotics. Genetics. AI. Bridges. Astrodynamics. 20+ topics. Ready to teach. Standards aligned. All 50 states. 1.8 million students. Zero cost to schools.
This is what happens when engineers and educators decide to meet students where they are.
🙏 Thank you to every teacher, every engineer, every college mentor and intern, and every donor who made a lab happen.
5 million times, something shifted in a classroom. We can't wait to see what comes next.

What does it take to spark a student's interest in engineering?
Sometimes just one lab.

What does it actually look like to become an engineer?
For a lot of our students, it starts with seeing someone not that much older than them running the lab.
Our college mentors show up to ET labs and do something that's harder than it sounds: they make engineering feel close.
This spring, they're graduating.
Congratulations to every ET college mentor in the Class of 2026. You are part of a movement that keeps growing — and that doesn't stop at graduation. We can't wait to see what you build next.

📢 May is National Inventors Month!
From bridges to biomedical breakthroughs, invention starts with imagination — and we believe every student should have the chance to dream and build.
At Engineering Tomorrow, we bring no-cost, real-world STEM labs to high school students across the country — helping them see themselves as future engineers, creators, and change-makers.
🌎💡 Let's inspire and invest in the next generation of inventors. Join us at engineeringtomorrow.org

This weekend, we showed up to STEM-tastic at @holychildrye in Rye, NY, with clean water filters, renewable energy kits, and a lot of enthusiasm. The students brought the rest!
To the teacher who shows up every day.
Who finds a way to make it real for students.
Who keeps asking what else they can bring into the room.
Who never stops looking for what's next.
To close out the week, a special shoutout to three of our teachers who inspire us: Laura Schroeder (MI), Jennifer Edwards (OK), Kim Grimes (MD), Jennifer Styer (Sehome High School, WA) . You make the work matter.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
You have our appreciation for your trust, dedication, and partnership every week of the year.
One of the most common things students say after an Engineering Tomorrow lab experience?
“I didn’t know this was something I could do.”
All of our labs are built to expand how students see engineering and themselves within it.
Not every student will become an engineer.
But every student deserves to experience engineering themselves and determine their journey based on experience.
That’s what all our labs are designed to do.
Not long ago, the world watched Artemis II come home.
And only two days ago, students around the country were in a live lab with a NASA astronaut, working through the real aerodynamics behind missions like that.
Not watching. Not reading about it. Doing it.
That's the kind of curiosity National Space Day was made for. Happy #NationalSpaceDay from the students and engineers of Engineering Tomorrow.
👀 Spotted: ET mentors out in the wild.
Sydney, Ethan, and Josh were at Johns Hopkins representing Engineering Tomorrow at #MatSci Day on Saturday — a hands-on materials science fair designed to spark curiosity in students of all ages.
Good things happen when the engineering community shows up!
Thanks to Jillian Williams for coordinating and Sydney for grabbing this shot.
