<div dir="ltr">Hey Everyone,  <div><br></div>Here is an interesting opportunity to work with the UIUC National Society of Black Engineers group. For background, Christine was an intern at my old job who stopped my the space at least once and really liked it. I'm inclined to say yes we're interested. Thoughts?<div>

of Black Engineers Community Service Chair, and we are looking at putting
on an event titled “"When I Grow Up I Want to be an Engineer." When I
thought about this event, instantly thought of Maker Space and the things you
all do with kids like the soldering robot project and thought you all would be
someone great to partner with!</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The purpose of this
service event is to provide an elementary explanation to children on what
it means to be an engineer, and the impact those who dominate the STEM field
make on a daily basis. The event’s goals will be accomplished through thought provoking
discussions, as well as carrying out experiments that will introduce children
to scientific and engineering concepts, while sparking their curiosity, and
manifesting the mentality that science can be fun!  </span></p>
