Become an Ancient Engineer on March 26
Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 26, 2026 – “Legyél te is az ókor mérnöke!” (Become an Ancient Engineer!). Ever wonder why we still study theorems from ancient mathematicians and physicists?

Slip into a Roman engineer’s tunic and join this offbeat history class turned interactive adventure through the principles of physics, geography, and math. It’s hands-on fun that bridges the past and present for all ages.
