The University of Arizona STEM Outreach program has reached out to SWE to support their first ever Women In Engineering Camp during the Summer Engineering Academy for high school grades 11th, 12th and graduated seniors.

SWE Tucson will be doing an Arduino project. Here is an outline of the project:

Want to Arduino?

In this workshop, students will learn the basic principles of electronics and combine software and hardware engineering skills to create usable products. They will work in squads to organize, develop, test and release one or more products in an agile environment. Each squad will use a circuit board with various components such as resistors, LED lights, switches, buzzers and a set of instructions to do a series of projects. Projects start as simple and increase in difficulty. Members of squads will be encouraged to use any resources necessary to complete their project including collaborating with other squads. No prior experience in electronics is required.

Lourie Goodall will lead the project. We are looking for 2 more volunteers. Lourie will host a volunteer training session a week or two before the event to allow everyone to familiarize themselves with the project. Please consider volunteering!
