It’s National Engineers Week!

Help us celebrate NAF’s future engineers , Biotech, aerospace, civil engineering, robotics — no matter what their focus, the 16,000 students attending our [NAF Academy of Engineering]( work hard to hone the skills they’ll need as the next generation of engineering leaders who will keep our world’s gears turning. This week is National Engineers Week, so we’re taking a moment to recognize all of the superstars across our 90 Engineering Academies and the legacy of this work — our NAF Academy of Engineering alums. As future engineers in NAF academy classrooms work through pivotal door-opening experiences, like mentorship programs, worksite tours, robotics competitions, and more, they’re discovering the tools they’ll need to make informed choices as they build their dream careers in this growing and rewarding industry.

"I chose to study science and engineering to pursue the sense of curiosity and wonder I have had since childhood – nurtured by my parents and educators. My skills continued to be developed through my NAF Academy of Engineering experience, at Charlotte Engineering Early College, and my experience is further being built as I lead my own company called Tetsuone Scientific."
