Families explored sound, automotive technology and other engineering fun at Saturday's ASU Open Door, where the Polytechnic campus' specialities came into the spotlight.
The free annual event welcomes the public onto each of Arizona State University's four metro Phoenix campuses to discover everything the university has to offer. Adults and children of all ages get the chance to peek inside labs, museums and classrooms and experience life as a Sun Devil.
Take a look at our gallery from the Polytechnic campus event below.
