SWE-ECI Supports the 2022 Iowa Regional Future City Competition

1/31/2022

On January 22nd, SWE-ECI judged and sponsored a Special Award for Most Diverse Infrastructure at the Iowa Regional Future City competition that was hosted virtually this year. The competition is a national, project-based learning experience where students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade imagine, design, and build cities of the future. The 2021-2022 theme was A Waste-Free Future where the students designed a waste-free city using the principles of a circular economy.

We saw firsthand how the students used math and science principles to solve real-world issues. The SWE-ECI sponsored Special Award was presented to Ciudad Verde from Take Action United. Congratulations!

New Year, New You with Jackie Pelland

"The energy of breakthrough performance", the perfect theme for SWE-ECI's Professional New Year New You Event.

Jackie Pelland has over 25 years of leadership development experience and believes the basic premise of leadership hasn't changed in about 200,000 years. Jackie touched on many subtle points during her presentation and how the brain works - the Human Operating system. Energy is how we experience life. It is determined by our thoughts, feelings, and actions and how this is affecting our leadership style.

Jackie left us with practical ideas on how we can form daily habits, re-discovering the thought process, and channeling our responses in the right direction.

Below is the core of Jackie's Mental Model at different energy levels we experience every single day. Think about where you are today!!!

On January 13th, SWE-ECI hosted a virtual webinar over the lunch hour featuring the WE21 Closing Keynote by Patti Poppe. During this session, attendees learned about the Japanese concept IKIGAI, Patti shared her IKIGAI, and attendees discussed how to apply it to our own lives. The keynote prompted us all to think about how we can have full purpose-driven lives. We're grateful that SWE made these conference recordings available for three months following WE21.
