For the science-minded, the UNLV Engineering School and Nevada Association of Land Surveyors will offer interactive hands-on science activities. Bishop Gorman High School, The Meadows School, Alexander Dawson School at Rainbow Mountain and Doral Red Rock Academy will host various student-driven art demonstrations on Oct. 12-13.
October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, because this is when fatalities for vulnerable road users increase; there is less daylight as fall begins, so this is a deadly time of year for those walking and biking.
The top official of the Metropolitan Police Department said he is tired of his officers having to deal with “broken and mangled” bodies on the streets of the Las Vegas Valley, the result of fatal accidents caused by poor driving.
Seat belts were once simple straps that mainly served to avoid being tossed from automobiles on bumpy roads. Even then, most drivers and passengers didn’t bother with them.

Drip, drip, drip. That’s the sound of Jeremy Cho’s atmospheric water harvesting device extracting humidity from the air to make usable water in Da Kine Lab at UNLV.
A rise in traffic fatalities is raising concerns among the community as Las Vegas Metropolitan Police report 111 deaths so far in 2024. That number is getting closer to the nearly 160 people reported dying in collisions in 2023.
According to researchers at UNLV, atmospheric water harvesting may pose a solution to our valley’s water woes, and a new startup called WAVR aims to push the technology into the real word.
A 16-year-old is accused of driving without a license while also carrying an 11-year-old passenger when the car hit another vehicle, killing two men according to Las Vegas Police. “Any time you have a situation where you have speed on one vehicle and low speed on the other vehicle, we see the people in the low-speed vehicle being the ones who lose their lives,” Erin Breen, the director of the Road Equity Alliance Project at UNLV said.
If you drive down Via Inspirada in Henderson, there are a few places that just look like the desert. However, a specific lot, off of Via Inspirada and Larson Lane, will soon become a new Haas Automation manufacturing facility.
As Southern Nevada continues its efforts on water conservation, UNLV is hoping to create a solution to Southern Nevada’s water shortage with its newest device to harvest atmospheric water vapor.
