Outreach & Community Service

Our current outreach efforts have reached over 700 students in the Rolla, St. James, and Licking Missouri Communities. This semester we plan to extend our reach even farther. We will also be working closely with one classroom to develop advanced presentations that will integrate into their lesson plan.  Our hope for the program is to interest students at a younger age when math and science can be the most frustrating and discouraging subjects.

Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day (IGED)

This month, our SWE Section hosted a IGED event at the Havener center on April 18 from 11 to 3 pm. This event was aimed towards 5th to 8th graders with the purpose of introducing more girls towards the idea of engineering. The event was a success with visitors from St. Louis dropping by. We were happy to host the next generation of innovative thinkers and tinkers.
