WSU SWE -- Activities
	Adopt-A-Family 2003
	Each year SWE gives back to the community by adopting a family for the holiday season. We collect donations of clothes, books, toys, food, and cash between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Deliveries are made in person to the family. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, please take your donations to the Dean's office, 100 Wallace Hall.
	Lego Mindstorms 2004
	This activity for 4th-8th graders teaches the value of science and engineering through learning to program Lego™ robots to navigate through a course built by WSU engineering organizations. The theme this year is the Summer Olympics. Organizations are to use this theme when designing and building their courses. The SWE course will challenge students to transfer the Olympic rings from one side of the course to the other while keeping them in the same order.
	Science Olympiad 2004
	A science competition for area high school students, Science Olympiad challenges students through several events they must successfully complete during the competition. Awards are handed out at the end of the day. SWE traditionally helps Alpha Pi Mu (the industrial engineering honorary fraternity) with the "Design of Experiments" event. Students have 50 minutes to sort through a bag of "stuff", design an experiment around it, and then follow the scientific process step-by-step to perform the experiment.
	Girl Scout Events
	Each semester SWE takes activities that teach science and engineering to local Girl Scout troops and spends a few hours with them. Activities range from polishing pennies to building domes out of gumdrops and toothpicks. This is a very rewarding activity and is always successful at teaching the girls that they, too, can become anything they set their minds to.
