Welcome To The Corridor TRIVIA

10/25/2020

On September 16th, SWE-ECI hosted a trivia night aimed towards welcoming the new addition of women engineers in the corridor, and introducing them to our membership and organization.
Trivia consisted of 5 questions from each of the following categories:

Iowa Facts
Noteworthy Iowans
Corridor Companies
Places in Iowa

Needless to say, we all learned new things and fun facts about the state we call Home. Congratulations to SWE's Angels- Jill Nagle, Urvi Pai and Emily Vandermyde for winning the 2020 Welcome To Corridor Trivia title. They were recipients of Amazon Giftcards for winning as well. A big thank you for everyone for attending.

After the storm hit in August SWE-ECI reached out to several Cedar Rapids schools to see if there was any way we could support them during these difficult times. Cleveland Elementary and Grant Wood Elementary replied with a list of school supplies and cleaning needs, including back to school clothes for some students. SWE-ECI is proud to say we were able to donate a car load of school and cleaning supplies to each elementary school. Thank you to those SWE-ECI members that donated individually! And thank you to our K-12 Outreach Chair, Nicole Felderman, who organized the donation drive, shopping, and delivery.

Jr Girl Scout Day - Virtual Edition!

On Saturday, October 17, SWE hosted our annual Jr. Girl Scout Day "Step into STEM" in a virtual format. We had a great group of 4th and 5th graders that learned more about SWE, STEM, and engineering, while also participating in activities such as coding their own necklace, building tall towers, and extracting strawberry DNA. This event would not have been possible without the help of our amazing local engineering volunteers who spent their Saturday morning as STEM role models and leading the girls through activities. We had a great event and are already looking forward to next year!

A big shout-out to Laura Yindra for volunteering her time on September 25th to present Java coding and Cyber Security to the Davenport & Australia South Coast SWENext Clubs. The SWENext girls use Java to program their FRC (First Robotics Club) robot, so their first goal was being able to read Java. Laura also discussed the best ways to protect personal information and provided the girls with some tips on creating and protecting passwords. Thanks again, Laura!
