Last month our outreach team attended the A.B. Williams Elementary School STEM night, where young minds are encouraged to explore various hands-on activities. Students collaborated with SWE members and volunteers to design and build pater rockets, then tested their creations with an exciting launch! Other organizations had projects focused on environmental science, chemical engineering, and medicine, providing a diverse range of STEM experiences. This event also provided valuable career information, helping students learn about pathways in STEM fields. This was just one of the many STEM nights we participate in, aimed at sparking curiosity and inspiring future generations to pursue careers in engineering and technology.
