ISU SWE Outreach plans activities for children in grades pre-K through 12 to encourage
interest in science and engineering. Check out the calendar for outreach events that
are coming up.
Please email us at isusweoutreach@gmail.com!
We are always open to questions and input, especially...
-
If you are an ISU student interested in becoming involved, either as part of a
committee to help plan events or as a volunteer to help make our events successful.
-
If you are interested in having us help out with an activity or visit your school
or daycare. We are always looking for new ways to get involved and help with other
on campus organizations and the community!
