REACHING OUT TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH ENGINEERING 'DREAM' MOVIE

摘要

Passion and persistence from Jane Howell Lombardi, chief communications officer for the American Society of Civil Engineers, were critical in bringing "Dream Big: Engineering Our World," an IMAX movie about engineering, to the big screen. The film attracted 1.4 million viewers during its 2017 showings and has been booked into 80 theaters in the U.S. and other countries. The film has positively affected young viewers' opinions about the field, independent research confirms. Now, Lombardi and the ASCE team have a new goal: to get a DVD of the film, supporting educational materials and teaching guides into every school in the U.S.
