National Instruments has long been active in promoting engineering education--both at the university and K-12 levels.
In the Thursday morning keynote at NI Week 2007, Ray Almgren, vice president of academic marketing, emphasized the need for engineering education for youth and hosted a demonstration of 5th-grade-student Samuel Majors prowess with technology and LabView.
