VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED!
SWE will help Junior and Teen level Girl Scouts earn the Making It Matter engineering badge by performing six hands-on, fun experiments to teach basic engineering concepts. The purpose of the program is to introduce and encourage young girls and women to pursue careers in engineering. Activities include civil, mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering. All supplies and a light lunch will be provided. A ceremony will be held at the end of the program where each girl will receive their badges.
Volunteers are necessary to make this program a success. Volunteers will run events with the girls, help set up and clean up.
Shifts for Volunteers are:
-->12:30 - 4:30 pm
The event begins at 1 pm, but volunteers will help setup prior to the beginning and also at the end to clean up.
Please plan to attend this fun and rewarding event!
Networking in Southern Maryland!
This luncheon will take place at the new Olive Garden located on route 235.
The Baltimore-Washington Section, one of the four founding sections of the Society, is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a Diamond Anniversary Panel and Reception. A unique panel discussion of SWE leaders who served as national president during the last 40 years will be held. Naomi McAfee (1970s), Suzanne Jenniches (1980s), Peggy Layne (1990s), and Michelle Tortolani (2000s) will highlight the cultural, educational, and political events in our nation; significant milestones in the history of SWE; and how these events and milestones shaped the SWE decade in which they served. In addition to professional and collegiate SWE members in the area, other engineering societies, Washington, DC area corporate partners, and other local community groups are invited.
Attendees will not only enjoy this one-of-a-kind discussion but will also receive a keepsake program book with a summary of the section’s history, panel and moderator bios, and additional recognition of other SWE Baltimore-Washington Section members. The entire panel discussion will be recorded and archived.
Please join us for this historical event. It is free to attend, but we do ask for a $15 donation that will be put directly towards our scholarship program.
