Support:
Our videos
are supported by donations from individuals and organizations. Help
us preserve history and honor engineers
who advanced our world by supporting the video program. Our Oral
History Program uses interviews with retired engineers like
Oliver Winn, Arne Loft and more. We record the undocumented side of
history, the story of invention, and personal details about the evolution
of a technology. These stories inspire younger generations to move forward
and make the next innovations that strive to make the world a better
place. Faster, smaller, less-toxic and renewable resources are all things
that inspire the young to choose engineering... not to mention the story
of how fun it was to tinker and invent!
