High School Conference with U of Iowa

4/16/2019

Four members of SWE-ECI attended the University of Iowa’s High School Conference on April 5th. The High School Conference allows high school students to visit the college and explore what it’s like to study engineering. The professional SWE members served on a panel and fielded questions about what it’s like to be a professional engineer and what college was like. After the panel, dinner was served and the SWE-ECI members mingled with the high schoolers and answered any remaining questions that they had.

On April 7th, members of SWE-ECI volunteered to staff a booth at the Iowa City Parks and Recreation STEAM Festival. The festival was set up like a street fair and allowed families with children of all ages to go from booth to booth and perform experiments with the various professional societies and businesses in attendance. SWE-ECI hosted a booth with Ozobots. Ozobots are small robots that can be “programmed” by drawing different colored lines and adding patterns to the lines. The Ozobots were a big hit and drew lots of questions from both parents and children. Overall, the SWE-ECI booth had over 100 visitors.

On March 28th Integrated DNA Technologies was gracious enough to host a Tour for SWE-ECI. The group learned the history of IDT, the story of its founding and how it has grown over the past 30+ years. We learned that DNA is made up of different variations of T, A, G, and C. We also toured the production and quality labs. Lastly, I would like to extend a special Thank You to Scott Allen for organizing and leading the tour!
