Engineers Week Arrives to Transform Futures
February 22, 2026 — From the devices in our pockets to the bridges we drive across, from clean water systems to lifesaving medical innovations, engineering touches every part of our lives. That’s why each year, Engineers Week is a time to celebrate the people who make all this possible—and to inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.
This year’s theme, Transform Your Future, is a powerful reminder that engineering doesn’t just shape our world—it shapes our opportunities, our communities, and the futures we can imagine for ourselves and our children.
And it starts with you.
Why Engineers Week Matters
Engineers Week (February 22─28, 2026) is more than a celebration of a profession—it’s a movement to show young people that engineering is creative, collaborative, and most importantly, open to everyone. When students see how engineering can make a real difference—and when they see people who look like them in those roles—they begin to believe: this could be my future, too.
The only event of its kind—Engineers Week is a time for you to:
- Celebrate how engineers make a difference in our world
- Add your voice to the conversation about the need for engineers and technicians
- Engage students in engineering
More than a week-long event, Engineers Week is a year-round commitment to making a difference. Here are some resources to help you inspire students in engineering!
- Engineers Week Guides for Volunteers and Educators
- Downloadable logos, graphics, certificates, and more
- DiscoverE challenge videos featuring Engineering Design Process and 170+ Hands-On Activities
About Engineers Week
Based in Alexandria VA, the nonprofit DiscoverE is the backbone organization behind Engineers Week™ (established 1951), Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day™ (2001), World Engineering Day (2016, formerly known as Global Day of the Engineer), the Persist Series (2005), and the Future City Competition™ (1993). Our programs and resources have been adopted by individuals and organizations around the globe.
Our programs cover pre-k to work force and intersect at the points of corporate social responsibility, public affairs, and talent acquisition. They are highly collaborative, represent the breadth of engineering, and are compelling yet simple to execute. This strategy enables organizational partners, volunteers, and educators to effectively reach millions of students, parents, and young adults with the message that engineers work with smart, inspiring people to invent, design, and create things that matter.
