Hi everyone,
I hope you all have been working hard on your finals or enjoying your early spring break.
Just wanted to let you know about a few things that are coming up for the next quarter:
The College of Engineering holds Engineering Discovery Days each year for students and faculty from all UW engineering departments and organizations to share their work with the community. SWE has participated in the past, and will participate again this year. If you’ve ever been to EDD and wished that there was a certain experiment or demonstration that was there, here’s your chance to share your thoughts. We’re looking for ideas and volunteers for this fun event – if you’re interested, please contact me at budhiari@hotmail.comMESA is an organization whose mission is to provide enriching opportunities in mathematics, engineering and science for underrepresented students in grades K-12, and each year they hold MESA Day, a day that brings more than 500 K – 12 MESA students together to participate in a variety of STEM competitions. Students prepare for these events in their MESA classes throughout the school year, and MESA needs volunteers to help set up, take down, and judge competitions. If you’re interested in helping out, please contact me at budhiari@hotmail.com.
- Scholarship opportunity:
This scholarship was created to help low- and middle-income Washington State residents earn first bachelors degrees in STEM and health care. The scholarships are for $1000/year and are renewable. Application is due April 16th at 5:00pm. Please check out http://www.
