[SWE] K-12 Outreach opportunities

[tvarjabe]

Hi SWE,

For those of you interested in reaching out to young women in grades 
K-12 to get them excited about engineering and science, here are some 
upcoming opportunities!

1) On Friday March 7, there is an on campus recruitment day for female 
high school juniors, called "Women in Science and Engineering Day."  SWE 
has been asked to be available as guides or as needed throughout the 
day.  We are looking to have at least 6 SWE volunteers. The event will 
run from 9am-4pm, so half of the volunteers can be available for the 
morning shift and the other half for the afternoon.


2) Also on Friday March 7, we will be going to a group of girl scouts in 
Hoboken to do an engineering activity with them.  We are looking to have 
at least 6 volunteers.  There are two groups: Juniors (9-10 yrs old; 18 
girls) meet from 3:30 to 4:30pm and Daisies (6-7 yrs old; 26 girls) meet 
from 4:30 to 5:30pm.


Please contact me (tvarjabe at stevens.edu) by Friday, February 28 if you 
would like to volunteer at either or both of these events and please 
indicate during which time slot/s.  Your help will be greatly 
appreciated!


Also, please contact Angela Bauroth (abauroth at stevens.edu) if you are 
interested in attending "World Thinking Day" on Friday February 28 from 
3:30-5:30pm held by several troops of girl scouts at the Multi Service 
Senior Center at 124 Grand Street. The event involves multicultural 
booths, dances, songs, games and food presented by girl scouts.


Sincerely,

Talar Varjabedyan
