The Bradbury Science Museum in downtown Los Alamos is presenting Engineers Week programming Feb. 24–26, 2026, featuring hands-on demonstrations and demos aimed at students, families, and the general public, an early local report says. The programming dates place the museum events inside the national Engineers Week window of Feb. 22–28, 2026.

An Instagram post about the Bradbury activities states: "Celebrate Engineers Week at the Bradbury Science Museum with hands on activities from 2 to 5 p.m. February 24, 25, and 26, at the demo stage and", the provided post fragment ends mid-sentence, but it clearly lists a 2–5 p.m. time window on Feb. 24, 25, and 26 and locates activities at the museum demo stage. No other source provided additional start or end times for individual demonstrations.

Local reporting described the Bradbury programming as "hands‑on demonstrations and demos aimed at students, families, and the general public." Beyond the Instagram time window and that audience framing, the sources did not list specific demonstrations, exhibitor names, speaker identities, admission cost, or registration requirements for the Feb. 24–26 sessions.

National Engineers Week organizers frame the observance and supply the program theme for 2026. Discovere lists "Engineers Week: February 22 – 28, 2026" and identifies the 2026 theme as "Transform Your Future." Discovere's preserved promotional language states that Engineers Week is a time to "Celebrate how engineers make a difference in our world," "Add your voice to the conversation about the need for engineers and technicians," and "Engage students in engineering." The national copy also includes the heading "Why Engineers Week Matters" and the passage: "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."

Several key details were not available in the provided materials. The Original Report’s reference to Visit Los Alamos events listing and the museum’s events calendar is truncated ("describe m"), and the Instagram post excerpt ends mid-sentence, so full listing text and any additional logistical details are not present. The provided sources do not state whether the Feb. 24–26 sessions require tickets, are free, include accessibility accommodations, list participating organizations or exhibitors, or name a press contact. The Bradbury’s museum calendar entry and the full Visit Los Alamos listing were not provided in the excerpts available.

The Bradbury’s Feb. 24–26 Engineers Week programming falls within the Discovere-defined Engineers Week (Feb. 22–28, 2026) and, per the Instagram time window fragment, includes demo-stage hands-on activities from 2 to 5 p.m. on Feb. 24, 25, and 26. Additional specifics remain to be confirmed from the museum’s full events calendar or an official posting.
