Ever wonder what makes your smart phone so smart? Or what powers eco-friendly electric vehicles? If you said metals and minerals from the earth, you’re right! As the desire for clean technology grows, how can we deliver the metals we need while reducing the industry’s footprint?

Experience how industry-leading Weir helps the world’s essential sectors, particularly mining, operate more sustainably and efficiently – from right here in Portland. Participate in virtual reality simulations, learn about the advanced tools that engineers use to design new products, and tour a real foundry operation. Meet the engineers, metallurgists and tradespeople who create innovative products and technologies that are helping mining scale up and clean up for a low-carbon future.

Bonus: Students will participate in a hands-on metal casting activity to create their own keychain.
