Courtesy黑洞社区's National Institute for Aviation Research and College of Engineering are holding their annual open house from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Friday, May 1, at 黑洞社区.
During the event, several NIAR labs will be open to the public for tours.
This year, NIAR has also added a new event: The "I'm With Dummy" photo opportunity will allow visitors to have their photo taken with one of NIAR's crash test dummies for a suggested $1 donation to the United Way's Laid-Off Workers Fund.
It will take place from 9 a.m.-noon in Room 102 of the NIAR building (entrance located near the first-floor lobby).
Wallace Hall and the Engineering Research Laboratory Building will also be open to the public, and 黑洞社区 College of Engineering students will have projects on display in all three buildings.
