The School of Engineering and Mines Fall Open House is attended by regional elementary and middle school students, as well as UND students, faculty, and staff.  The event, scheduled for the late September or early October, is designed to demonstrate  how interesting and fun math, science, and technology related activities can be for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Activities planned for the day include: 
* Cryogenics shows, in which racquetballs, bananas, carrots, balloons, and marshmallows are frozen using liquid nitrogen;
* A presentation of UND’s Formula One car,  --  designed, constructed, and raced by UND engineering students;
* Hands-on science experiments including air pressure, inertia, polymers, vibrations and acoustics, and magnetics/circuits;
* Walk on a real-life “ooblek”, a non-newtonian fluid;
* A chance to see one of North Dakota’s premiere dinosaur and mineral displays; and
* Exploding garbage cans.
