Dream Big Celebrates STEM and the Human Spirit for National Engineers Week

Film Premieres February 17 at the Omni Theater, an IMAX® Dome

Fort Worth, TX (January 23, 2017) — Around the world, the most basic of human needs go unmet. Clean water. Sustainable food supplies. Reliable shelter and infrastructure. Every day, engineers answer the call to build a better future. Dream Big: Engineering our World, opening February 17 at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History’s Omni Theater, an IMAX® Dome, tells the stories of engineers such as these. Innovative thinkers who are transforming the world because they dared to dream big. They are driven by a passion to make a difference in our world.

From the world’s tallest buildings to underwater robots, to a solar car race across the Australian Outback, Dream Big celebrates the human ingenuity behind engineering marvels big and small, and shows how engineers push the limits of innovation in unexpected ways. The Dream Big premiere launches this year’s Engineers Week at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, February 21 to February 25. During Engineers Week, the Museum will be filled with STEM-based activities and festivities designed to explore the field of engineering. Here students will discover how professional engineers turn ideas into reality while doing their own problem-solving. Young women interested in pursuing a career in engineering will meet mentors and learn about future options during Girls and Engineering Day on Saturday, February 25.

Dream Big and Engineers Week bring STEM-based learning opportunities to our community through programs and activities that shatter the stereotype of engineering and teach that anyone with a vision and passion can succeed in STEM fields.

Today’s young dreamers will engineer tomorrow’s future – what better time to start dreaming BIG?
