Brace yourselves, buzz-ers, I’m about to talk about sports for a sec-ond. I know this is an arts and entertainment magazine, but if you ask me, well-played sports are art, and the best athletes entertain. So

here goes...Chicago sports has turned me into someone

who loves the fall, winter and spring, but hates the summer. It's hot and boring. It's lazy. The Cubs are probably losing. The Sox are probably losing. Summer is a constant reminder of failure. Of be-ing a “lovable loser.” Of sitting through a game in the bleachers on Senior Ditch Day when all my friends were drunk and puking from the sun, and I was (also drunk, but) trying to get a rise of Pittsburgh's right fielder. Maybe he would actu-ally hear me and make a game-blowing error! In fall, the Bears take the field and, usually the ball, from every poor offense with the unfortunate task of braving the terrain, weather, fans and defense at Sol-dier Field. In winter and spring, the Bulls and Black-hawks streak across the court and the ice, in bright red-and-black uniforms, leaving their enemies in the dust and the United Center in pandemonium. Then baseball season comes around, and hope springs eternal, but that never lasts, even when you think your team will make the World Series. When you’re five outs away, everything falls apart. It breaks your heart, and you tell yourself, “Next time it’ll be better.” But aren’t you just telling your-self that for your own sake? I mean, you’ve got to laugh to keep from crying at this point. I can’t even watch the Cubs most of the time. It’s too sad. I see Sammy Sosa and the night I saw him hit two home runs, one that was 420 feet and one that was an earth-shattering 520 feet, only for my world to be turned upside down when he came up in steroid talks. I see Moises Alou, peeing on his own hands before stacking up RBIs, only for him to break down in post-Bartman fury. I see Kerry Wood and Mark Prior throwing fireballs and raking in Ks, and then falling apart. I see Carlos Zambrano, who once could hit 105 mph on the radar gun, starting fights with his teammates and being run out of town. At this point, the Cubs are like an ex who always keeps you on the hook, only to let you down somehow. You tell yourself each season that it’ll work, but it never does. Good thing it’s basketball and hockey season, right? Because right now, the Hawks look like an unstop-pable force (my dood Patrick Kane single-handedly embarassed Detroit just hours before I’m writing this) and the Bulls look pretty darn tough, even though they have been dealing with a bevy of injuries. I don’t know when Rose will come back, but I hope he recovers like Adrian Peterson. I miss him. It pains me to see him in pain. Is that wrong?

Jarling's custard cup opening

There's nothing like grinding to Radiohead.

With nicer weather finally pining to arrive in CU, everyone is ready to wear athletic shorts and flowery dresses and enjoy spring activities, like actually going outside for a nice stroll or taking a nap beneath a budding tree. Another spring indulgence awaiting CU residents is eating a deli-cious serving of Jarling’s Custard Cup, opening for the season on Friday, March 8. Yes, the well-liked custard shop made everyone wait, but absence makes the heart grow fonder!

Here’s the perfect scenario: You go for a run in Hessel Park, perfectly located less than a mile from Jarling’s, work up a sweat and finish the workout by ordering a rewarding dessert. You only went on the run to get there faster, right?

Jarling’s is located on Kirby Avenue, between Grandview Drive and State Street in Champaign. It offers classic custard flavors like chocolate and strawberry, as well as unique specialty flavors, which are announced weekly. Also on the menu are a variety of shakes, sundaes and cakes for all to savor. So whether you’re someone who has never tried this delightful springtime treat, or you’re an avid custard consumer who loves it and has been trying and failing to make homemade custard all winter, check out Jarling’s Custard Cup on opening day and beyond.

However, why do we never see these in common use now-a-days? Lasers get the shaft and only appear in classrooms and science experiments. Now I'm the first to say that science is awesome, but getting to use said lasers requires know-how I am not capable of. Swords, however, we only get to see in movies!

My Mad fat diaryA closer look at the popular British teen drama

W hat do I want? A television show that manages to give me some ounce of

truthfulness to its characters. Not just this, but I want a show that calls out relevant, under-addressed issues of today in a slice-of-life man-ner, and I want it to be worded in a way that is drenched in humor, laughing with the characters — not at them. I want a show that doesn’t have a satisfyingly expected “happy ending,” but instead the reassurance of ongoing progress and realism in knowing that personal growth is an unfinished and continuous thing. Oh, and I’m not opposed to some bomb-ass tunes included, either. Have I found this? To the best of the media’s psychic abilities to read my mind while simultaneously fulfilling its own set of standard requirements within television, yes I’ve found it.

Take your attention and place it to the new E4 series, My Mad Fat Diary, and introduce yourself to the show’s protagonist, Rae Earl. Sixteen, fat, and fresh out of a psychiatric hospital as a self-described “mental.” However, there should be a distinction made in such a description of Rae — it barely grazes the surface. What one comes to realize while watching the show is how Rae is also hilarious, strong, uncertain, growing and a major babe.

Set in the summer of 1996 in Lincolnshire, our main girl Rae is released from a psychiatric ward after a four-month stay. Mysterious in revealing the circumstances causing her attendance at the hospital in the first place, there is one declarative

aspect from the very beginning of the show – Rae is funny, and her humor is abundant and her wit stinging. Now, like any other “typical” teenager, she is boy-crazed and anxious of fitting in.

In Rae’s return to the “outside world,” post-psychiatric ward, we become acquainted with her great balancing act. Between her home life and its triggering qualities, put next to the task of reinserting herself with other teens her age, and balancing them with starting therapy, there is work to be done. However, despite continuous bouts of triggered anxiety and wanting to crawl out of her own skin, Rae keeps on. But the show isn’t so simple in that there’s a problem and sud-denly it’s solved – the problem is not solved, but continuously being solved and dealt with over and over with new resolves.

If none of this has sold you, at least know that Professor Quirrell from Harry Potter and the Sor-cerer’s Stone, actor Ian Hart, plays the part of Rae’s therapist, Kester, and there is a constant stream-ing of Oasis’ “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” throughout the series. Incidentally, the series is based off of a real human being of the same name, author Rae Earl. She actually published her di-ary from when she was 16, so you can find the book My Fat, Mad Teenager Diary that inspired the series, too.

However, I digress from one of the larger points at hand: When was the last time you saw a fat girl as a protagonist? Okay, maybe not too long ago. However, when did you last notice a fat girl whose

main conquest of the show isn’t “fixing” her body or self, but empowering her own mental health by accepting herself? Bing, gotcha. This is one of the main fixes of My Mad Fat Diary. And because this genre is practically nonexistent within television, you’re likely to spy something about it on one of your social networking or blogging sites, due to the fact that people with issues similar or identical to these actually exist.

But there’s more, particularly in how the show isn’t just limited to its already atypical depiction of women’s bodies and mental illness, but how it also simultaneously manages to address a multi-tude of related issues – such as eating disorders, women’s sexuality and pleasure, single family households, slut-shaming, abortion, therapy and medication and the questioning of one’s sexuality, all while flipping the typical norm of “expected” character types. There is no demonizing, patron-izing or victimizing of the people in this show. Instead, there is a widened world view of their experiences or the issues being dealt with: The two sides of the story are both tapped into. Be-sides this, there are no seeded morals planted within the series. The only moral you can expect is "accept yourself."

As Rae’s therapist, Kester says, “You can’t spend the rest of your life being afraid of people rejecting you, and you have to start by not rejecting your-self. You don’t deserve it. From now on, people can either accept you for who you are, or they can fuck off.”

Do you knowwhat’s going on around you?

Get Your produce from the expertsChampaign-Urbana has two butcher shops to discoverby AmirAh ZAveri And PAul Angelillo

With the convenience and speed of the meat counters at big grocery store chains, few

people will invest the gas money and time of find-ing and patronizing a local dedicated butcher. Even for those who make the effort, the grim sight of cattle carcasses and bustle of large knives seem a world away from the neat, pre-bundled supermar-ket parcels of beef and pork that litter our refrig-erators. However, fighting this apprehension and developing a relationship with a nearby butcher shop can yield benefits both to your inner food scholar and your waistline.

Going to a full-service butcher means ordering from a staff who, if they haven’t themselves re-cently been out back carving up a side of some animal, have certainly been around the process enough to know the ins and outs of pork, beef and poultry. Thus, the question of spare ribs versus back ribs or tenderloin versus loin chops need not be left to a last-minute Google search. Instead, you can draw on the knowledge of a live human, a meat expert who will not only explain the distinguish-ing qualities of different cuts, but often provide a suggestion or name an even better cut of meat for your intended purpose. In many cases, they will even present you with recipes or other preferred cooking methods for their favorite items, giving the cooks and foodies reason to come back and try something new. Further, for the supremely ad-venturous, a dedicated butcher shop will offer all the animal heart, liver and other offal too gruesome for the supermarket displays — leaving no excuse not to add sweetbreads or a roasted pig’s head to your next dinner party. Add this to housemade sausages, thick-cut bacon and other cured salami and a local butcher shop becomes a dreamland for the charcuterie-inclined eater.

On a simple economic level, an establishment dealing exclusively in meat ties its livelihood to the prices and quality of the product it receives. Though this sometimes means a butcher shop will not carry the cheapest grades of meat, it ensures

a certain baseline of quality at very competitive prices. Additionally, a cut’s direct transit from carcass to display case ensures freshness and removes any of the ambiguity of packaging for the price you pay. Lastly, depending on the advance notice given, many butchers will be happy to ac-commodate specials orders of whatever precise thickness or weight you desire on a cut, ensuring you need only pay for exactly the meat you want and avoiding waste.

The Champaign-Urbana area offers two prime establishments. The first is Meat Science Labo-ratory located at 1503 S. Maryland Ave., Urbana. This research-based establishment offers high quality, locally sourced USDA-certified meat at an affordable price. Open three days a week, customers eagerly shuffle in to purchase pounds of freshly butchered meat before it runs out. The store itself is quite minimalist. The main focus: meat. Because the lab is mainly a research facil-ity, it has no control over what meat it gets on a given day. On a usual day, two large display cases are filled with pork tenderloin, spare ribs, rib-eye steaks, back ribs, chuck roast, prime rib, flank steaks, lamb chops and many more tasty meats. Turn around and you will find two fridges filled with pounds of thick-cut bacon, German bologna, old-fashioned wieners, bratwurst and other delicious deli meats.

Along with meats, they offer trays of fresh white and brown eggs in a separate fridge. On some days, Meat Science Laboratory even car-ries specialties such as heart, tongue, liver and kidneys, plus pig head, tail and ear. The staff, mainly college students, is friendly, attentive and highly knowledgeable and more than will-ing to answer any questions a regular customer might have. While talking with a working em-ployee, I discovered that the rib-eye steak at $10.99 per pound is the most popular cut, while the top sirloin at $6.99 per pound makes for an affordable steak. If looking for a unique cut, the

picanha cut is a juicy, tender cut of meat with a glorious layer of fat that comes from the rump region of the cow. If looking to make some Ital-ian beef, purchase some chuck roast at $3.59 per pound. Other popular picks on the menu include whole chickens, pork tenderloin and prime rib steaks. If looking for more information or to see what meats are available, fresh and on sale in store, join Chuck’s meat email list to get weekly updates. Also, for convenience, orders can be phoned in at 217-333-3404.

Old Time Meat and Deli Shoppe is much more along the lines of a conventional neighborhood butcher shop. This cozy store is located at 2018 S. Neil St., Champaign, and is open six days a week.

All of the employees are incredibly friendly, well-informed, experienced and happy to help a de-ciding customer. This butcher shop offers the top two grades of beef, high-quality pork, Amish ham and grade-A chicken. In addition, their deli offers imported cheeses, beef jerky and a wide selection of deli meat products. It's also a great lunch spot as they sell delicious smoked salmon, chicken, wings and ribs daily. For the budget-minded customer, Old Time offers weekly specials that include heav-ily discounted cuts of meat and already smoked specials like barbecued baby back ribs or barbecue boneless pork loin. Old Time Meat and Deli Shop-pre is a quality butcher shop that carries high-grade meat at a reasonable price.

IllusIons, TrIcks, jugglIng and speed arTThe SoDo Theatre holds 2nd Annual Magic and Other Nonsense Show

A mid a crowd of the studious and coffee-wired sits Markus Clegg, a full-time ma-

gician. A stack of magical history books sit in a chair next to him as he dips a slice of bread into a steaming bowl of chili. He says the first thing someone asks him when they find out his pro-fession is, “So, what do you REALLY do?” Ques-tioning the legitimacy of certain occupations is standard, but that doesn’t stop people like Clegg or David Casas from performing and loving the world of magic.

Magic falls under two categories: the witch-craft and wizardry type and the performance type. From Harry Houdini to Doug Henning, illusory magic has been prevalent across the world’s history. Houdini is thought of as the “fa-ther of modern magic” because he took magic out of the streets and into the public eye. In-stead of dressing up in the typical tall hat and robe, as a wizard would, Houdini stepped into a tuxedo and amazed audiences. Today, cos-

tumes vary from magician to magician. Some like to be characters, while some like to hold onto themselves and simply perform.

Clegg will host Champaign-Urbana’s 2nd An-nual “Magic & Other Nonsense,” a magic show filled with illusions and tricks. Running a roster of magicians such as David Casas and Brian Pankey, and Danville-based speed painter John Jansky, Clegg creates an enchanting escape for two nights.

Ever since he was 8, Clegg has been in love with performing magic. Instead of the comic store, he asked his mom to take him to the magic store.

“I remember seeing Doug Henning back in the mid '70s," Clegg said. "I was about 8 years old and I told my mom I just had to go to the magic shop.” His mother obliged and, upon walking out, young Clegg had a trick deck of cards.

The magic world is a class of its own in the en-tertainment industry. Some magicians perform acts that used to be performed in the times of

Houdini, however, they have become efficient behind the scenes.

Performance magic, especially, is a lot about the art of secrecy. With the Internet boom came more transparency and the unveiling of certain secrets. "All of these secrets, they were little treasures to hold onto,” Clegg said.

However, the onslaught of communication has also proven useful to the magic world. Magicians can now gain popularity through YouTube, where it used to be all about word of mouth. People interested can learn more online, and in turn become involved in the industry. The wealth of knowledge available has also shown to be a breeding ground for innovation and creation.

It takes a certain kind of person to be a magi-cian — one who is persistent and constantly curious. For instance, Pankey, a world-class jug-gler, fell in love with juggling and performing at the age of five, when his parents took him to a

circus. As he grew up, his curiosity only grew stronger and he found himself asking the local magic shop owner more and more questions.

He went to a convention at Eastern Illinois University in 1991, and soon started training about eight to 10 hours a day. All of that hard work paid off and is seen through interviews with “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” and first-place awards at various shows. Pankey will be on Rob Dyrdek’s show “Ridiculousness.”

Casas, a performing magician from Daven-port, Iowa, was exposed to magic through a walk in his local mall. He stopped at the kiosk and was handed a flyer for magic lessons. He went, fell in love, performed at a convention six months later and decided magic was his calling. Upon graduating, he moved to Las Vegas, where he worked with his mentor.

A common theme among these performers is also the love they have for their audiences. Casas said, “My favorite part of performing is definitely entertaining people and making them laugh.”

Clegg said he enjoys sharing the experience and making people feel good. Pankey also said he en-joys the audience reactions. They all also express excitement for performing with each other.

“I love magic. I love entertainers," Pankey said. "We share a common bond of interest,” Pankey said.

While coordinating this event, Clegg opted for hand-picking the magicians. Most of them are old friends of his. He hopes to expose the people of Champaign-Urbana to the robust magic world in the area. “People are starting to realize that it is a craft; it is an art,” he said.

The show was a mere dream for Clegg two years ago. That quickly changed when a small show orga-nized by The SoDo Theatre left people wanting more magic. Working with SoDo, Clegg organized the first annual Magic & Other Nonsense show last year.

There are many outlets to observe and enjoy magic entertainment. For example, Dallas & Co. is a local costume and magic shop, but it also doubles as a meeting place for the Central Illinois Magic Association.

The show will take form in a review show, which is a string of magicians performing their acts.

On Friday, Clegg and Pankey will perfor for the first half, with Jansky following. On Saturday, Pankey will take away the first half, and Clegg and Casas will perform in the second half.

For further information on the performers, check out their Facebook pages and websites. For Casas’ website, visit www.davidcasasmagic.com. For Pan-key, visit www.brianthejuggler.com. For Clegg, check out www.markusclegg.com.

Sponsored by The News-Gazette and Sylvia’s Irish Inn Bed and Breakfast, the event is at The SoDo Theatre, 114 S. Neil St., Champaign. It runs for two nights, at 7:30 p.m. on both Friday, March 8, and Saturday. Pre-show entertainment includes Ale-jandro Remigio, a student at University, performing close-up magic. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door.

The liTTle engine(ering) ThaT couldA preview of the 93rd annual Engineering Open Houseby Monica Detter

If you’re interested in Tesla coil concerts, escaping from a burning dorm room or

the now-famous Champaign Bomb Squad robot, clear your schedule for this weekend. You will be able to find all of these and much, much more at the Engineering Open House.

The 93rd annual Engineering Open House, or EOH, will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, March 8, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Satur-day, March 9.

This annual event, which boasts 20,000 visitors every year, is not only for engineering students. “Everyone is welcome,” Gloria Lin, this year’s Engineering Open House director explains. “Everyone from the community, all students, all adults.”

This year’s EOH will feature more than 260 exhibits held by the university’s engineering stu-dents, the College of Engineering, the Champaign Police and Fire Departments and corporations such as Boeing and Bosch.

Exhibits will feature a wide range of topics, from making your own candy to crushing huge con-

crete cylinders. “I can guarantee that everyone that comes will be able to find something that fascinates them,” Lin assures.

One of the more significant events will be a keynote speech by astronomer Phil Plait. Plait has worked at NASA and has had his own Dis-

covery Channel documentary titled “Bad Uni-verse.” The speech he plans to give on Friday, titled “Death from the Skies,” will discuss differ-ent astronomical phenomena, including meteors and asteroids. Admission to the speech is free, but due to limited seating, you will have to pick

up your tickets on Friday, March 8, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Engineering Open House welcome tent.

Immediately following the speech, the EOH will hold a Tesla coil concert on the Bardeen Quad, also known as the (Continued on pg. 12)

Grandkids’ Grand Tour The local indie sweethearts are off to SXSW By Maddie RehayeM and LauRen aguiRRe

Grandkids have come a long way since front-woman Vivian McConnell and gui-

tarist Evan Metz met in the dorms. They’re ready to drop their first full-length album on us at a Mike ‘N’ Molly’s show on Thursday be-fore they hightail it off to Austin, Texas, to play the South by Southwest music festival, playing shows all the way there and back.

McConnell, who also plays with semi-local indie rockers Santah, has performed at SXSW in past years. She plans on being a “mother” to the rest of the band during their time there.

“I’ve been there twice,” she said. “I’m excit-ed to bring them down there and show them around. It really is a special time and place.”

Texas will be the farthest Grandkids has ever toured, but the band members have a “pretty comfortable set-up in the van.” Perhaps more of a feat for them is the release of their first record.

This upcoming album, Timeshare, was a much

bigger endeavor than any musical output the band has created in the past. It cost more mon-ey to make, and time too, since it was recorded in Chicago and they had to commute. They also experimented more with recording than they have in the past, spending the first half of 2012 on it.

The product of all that hard work can be ac-cessed online or by a download card that will be available Thursday at the show. It will be released on local label Heirship Records.

As for what will come next: who knows? We can be sure, though, that Grandkids have big dreams and shows no signs of stopping. Catch the band while you can, at the Mike ‘N’ Molly’s Mid by Midwest show on Thursday. Hopefully they will bring along their stuffed coyote to help celebrate the new album’s release with fellow SXSW-bound Midwesterners PHOX, Minor Characters and Coldfronts.

Quick Picks New music to watch forBy Buzz Music staff

Atoms for Peace — AMOK (2013 XL)buzz factor: 4.0/5.0

Atoms for Peace have finally released their long-awaited debut album, AMOK. Atoms for Peace be-gan as a side project for Thom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead. He enlisted bassist Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers, drummer Joey Waronker of Beck and percussionist Mauro Refosco.

Yorke created each song on AMOK electronically. Then each band member brought the digital sound to life during a three-day jam session. Yorke and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich edited the work for two years. On the final record, it becomes hard to decipher where the electronic sound ends and the human hand takes over, which was exactly Yorke’s aim. It is more electronic and glitchy than The Eraser and sounds more like Radiohead’s last album, King of Limbs, than anything else. So if you liked that, check out AMOK. –Taylor Odisho

Youth Lagoon — Wondrous Bughouse (2013 Fat Possum)buzz factor: 4.5/5.0

This is shaping up to be quite the year for the eccentric: Unknown Mortal Orchestra released a stellar follow-up to 2011’s eponymous debut that expanded on their Zeppelin-fueled weird pop, glam king David Bowie announced his first new record in a decade and now Boise boy wonder Trevor Powers has emerged with the sophomore effort from his dream-pop project Youth Lagoon. The new record morphs the first’s minimalism and quiet nostalgia into a more ambitious psy-chedelic that explores “where the spiritual meets the physical world.” Powers’ knack for concise, catchy melodies has blossomed into grandiose arrangements with psychotic flair, reminiscent of the Flaming Lips, Sparklehorse or Animal Col-lective. –Tyler Durgan

Mister Lies — Mowgli (2013 Lefse)buzz factor: 3.5/5.0

Nick Zanca, who creates ambient electronic tunes under the moniker Mister Lies, upped the energy for his first full-length release, Mowgli. His new tracks retain the airy feel of earlier composi-tions, however they are more maturely and ex-pertly plotted. Zanca’s limberness in his live per-formances comes through on the recording. The songs are more densely layered, but those layers are as soft as tissue. Listen to Mowgli through headphones to get the full stereo-sound experi-ence: textures to entertain your ears, thoughtful samples of saxophone or voice and even a mys-terious centerpiece, “Canaan,” in which Zanca’s blissful ambient world recedes to the background to bring forth a spoken-word poem. All in all, it’s a great start for the young, rising Mister Lies. –Mad-die Rehayem

Jacco Gardner — Cabinet of Curiosities (2013 Trou-ble In Mind)buzz factor: 4.0/5.0

Emerging from a thickly nostalgic opium cloud of '60s throwback, Jacco Gardner’s debut record lays down heavily on the psychedelic and lightly on the rock for interesting measure. Striking a balance between Strawberry Alarm Clock pop and fervent Zombies eclecticism, Cabinet of Curiosities explores a storybook formula with dreamy keyboards, music box romps and echoplex vocals and harmonies that form the lovechild of late MGMT and Connan Mock-asin. Amongst the most multi-faceted and ambi-tious of the tracks stand hazy ballads like “Watching the Moon,” “The One Eyed King” and “The Riddle.” With all the style of baroque majesty, Jacco Gardner aims to drive the neo-psych movement back to a more traditional output that worships the genre’s trippy roots. –Austin Gomez

(Continued from pg. 7) Engineering Quad. Terry Blake, who goes by the stage name Dr. Zeus, will be using thousands of volts of electricity from Tesla coils to generate music. Be sure to get there early to get a good seat!

During the day on Friday, the Champaign Fire De-partment will be demonstrating a dorm room fire. The demonstration is sponsored by the Society of Women Engineers and will be held on the Bardeen Quad at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The firefighters will be setting fire to a simulated dorm room to demon-strate the importance of sprinklers.

Another notable exhibit is a demonstration of the Champaign Police Bomb Squad robot. During the summer and the fall semester, you may have heard about numerous incidents with suspicious packages and bags located around campustown. Though none of these incidents ended up being a real danger to the community, the Champaign Po-lice Bomb Squad took precautionary measures and responded to the scenes with their high-tech robot. Attendees of the EOH will have an opportunity to see this robot up-close and get to learn more about its functionality in the community.

“It can do a lot of cool things,” Lin says. “It’s really agile, it can climb stairs and it has multiple cameras on it.” The robot demonstration will be in room 112 in the Transportation on Friday at four different times: 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Most engineering student organizations will have at least one exhibit at the EOH. Every group that participates in EOH has to participate in a safety training course led by the EOH committee.

William Del Toro, a sophomore in chemistry, will be participating in an exhibit hosted by American Institute of Chemical Engineers, or AIChE. His ex-hibit, Distillation Nation, will be a demonstration of the process of alcohol fermentation. “It’s been a lot of work, but I am pretty excited,” Del Toro remarks. “It’ll be interesting to watch all of the different ex-hibits and see all of the kids being interested in our project.”

“It’s great because this is really becoming a Uni-versity of Illinois Open House weekend,” Lin says.

In addition to seeing exhibits, visitors will have the chance to participate in the Open House through the Illini Engineering Challenge, or IEC. Visitors can stop by at any time during the day to join the chal-lenge, which is to design a rubber-band powered car using the materials provided. There will be a design contest every hour on the hour, and small prizes will be awarded to the winners.

A great tool to enrich your EOH experience is the EOH mobile app, available for download on both Android and iPhones from the EOH website. The app will allow you to keep track of all the exhibits. The exhibit data is available now, so you can plan out your day before attending.

With the app, you can take a tour through the Il-linois Distributed Museum, which is spread across campus and features different artifacts of engineer-ing technology that were founded at the university. The app will have information about the artifacts and where they can be found.

Lin and her team have been working for the past year to put this event together. “It’s been a great journey so far,” says Lin. “I’ve been able to work with the most amazing group of students that put forth so much effort and time to make this event possible.”
