Ways To Contribute

Exciting Ways To Contribute
Be an explorer, inventor, engineer, or a scientist!
 * Travel! It is not always easy to get to know how something is made. You may need to travel to the places where it is made in order to understand that. Record it with a camera, take photos, use dictaphone and use other media. Upload it here as necessary. Collect drawings, record computer programs, and any other artifacts and upload them as necessary.
 * Contact people! To travel is not always an easy task. You may have difficulties to access some factories, machines or other technology. Also, the number of places to visit for a project may become too big for a one person to cover in a lifetime. Therefore, search the people who are closer to the places and ask them to cooperate in your explorations.
 * Experiment! Beware to read more on How To Make Experiments In HTEI? before you do so! Experimenting is one of the essential parts of creating Engineering Encyclopedia. It must be tested to be working!
