- Points 0
- Submitting a text entry box, a website url, a media recording, or a file upload
Throughout this semester, I hope you'll want to share your interest in engineering with others. If you know of others (a kid, friend, neighbor, etc.) who might be interested, and want to spend a little time sharing something cool and interesting with them (from this class, or anything else), I'll give you extra credit to do so.
+10 points for introducing a kid/friend/etc. to engineering. Find a potential future engineering somewhere, anywhere, and spend half an hour talking with them about engineering. Show them your final project! Turn in a description of your 'visit'.
+10 more points if you do a hands on engineering or science activity with them. Show them how to measure a circuit , or check out these many online resources for ideas. Turn in a photo, video, or upload to youtube and submit a link of your project.

Links to an external site. (suitable for larger groups,often older groups, materials can be checked out)
IEEE (see pre-university resources)
Society of Women Engineers: SWE.org
Your local library has lots of books of hands on science projects.
I can also assist in additional materials you can use to take to classes, boy/girl scout groups, etc.
