There is something about a kid running down a hallway screaming, “mom, you HAVE to see this!” #openhousegoals.

Last night was our annual event where we open up the doors of PADT with a family-oriented event sharing what we engineers do.  We also invited some students from high school and University to share their engineering activities.  With over 250 attendees and more than one excited kid running down the hall, we can safely call it a success.

Attendees were able to see our 3D Printing demo room, including dozens of real 3D printed parts, learn about engineering, explore how 3D Printing works, and check out our new metal 3D Printer. They were also able to learn about school projects like the ASU Formula SAE race car as well as a prosthetic hand project and research into cellular structures in nature from BASIS Chandler.

Oh, and there was Pizza.

Pictures speak louder than words, so here is a gallery of images from the event.
