During the four day event, government employees, tourists, D.C. residents, and children, are able to see their government on display. Kids are able to climb aboard an F-16, see how money is made, watch navy divers in a dive tank, and much more. Young adults can learn the history of government and how it works while at the same time taking home valuable information on public service careers. Adults can get information on social security, learn about job opportunities through the Office of Personnel Management, and explore space technology with NASA. The point is that there is something for everyone at the Public Service Recognition Week Mall Event.
