Wow! That's Engineering Event Recap

A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers for their hardwork for making Wow! That's Engineering possible.  We had over 170 kids and 25 chaperones.  The feedback from the girls and chaperones was very positive.

The phrase "a picture can express one thousand words" is evident in this picture. Print it and show it off! Hang it at your desk at work or your fridge at home :)

If interested planning next year's Wow! event, please email Kalyani and Lesley at outreach@swe-mn.org.
