We taught the kids the importance of instructions in STEM. Instructions can be used to tell robots what to do, how to build a bridge, and in many other ways. We aimed to get the students inspired to try a STEM major.
We stood on the course to ensure no girls racing got lost from the parents, or went off course. It was very fun because we got to cheer on all the girls and their parents racing and try to encourage them not to stop. We gave high fives to all of the girls running by, and were able to motivate them. It was so inspiring to see all those girls going out an being active, and their perseverance to finish the 5k even when some of them were so young. It was a great experience.
We made bags of trail mix for Martha's Table. It was run by SEASSPAN in the SEH building. It was really fun putting together the bags of trail mix. Also, it was nice seeing the work being put to a good cause, and brighten people's Thanksgiving season.
We went to the park, and picked up trash and sorted it into separate bags. There were bags for cans, bottles, cardboard, styrofoam. It was very hand on and we got to see the direct good we were doing for the community.
