NEGM features information on careers in engineering and geoscience to encourage young Canadians to consider these fields as a career of choice. Showcasing engineering and geoscience at work, NEGM events include spaghetti or popsicle stick bridge building contests, rock and fossil explorations, and interactive displays. NEGM events occur throughout BC and are hosted locally by APEGBC's Branches, volunteer members in regions around the province.
