Calling SWE-D members! We need volunteers to help us judge this year's college and community college scholarships. The process involves reading through each application and then scoring it according to the provided rubric. Based on the number of entries, it should take about an hour of time to read through them. The plan is to read through both sets of applications in early April, after the community college applications are due (April 1).

Please email Sarah Worsham at SWEDetroitScholarships@gmail.com if you're interested.

WHEN: Sunday, April 3rd, 4-6pm
WHERE:  Lily's Seafood Grill & Brewery, 410 S Washington Ave, Royal Oak, MI 48067
WHO: SWE-D book club meetings are open to everyone! No prior experience is necessary. If you didn't get to the book this month, no worries, come anyway and hear what others thought!
QUESTIONS: Please email lisa.c.purvis@gmail.com if you have any questions.

We are looking for volunteers to help judge at upcoming FIRST Robotics events. See the tables below for event locations, dates, and volunteer sign-up links. Note that all the events are in person (NOT virtual) and require masks. Any questions can be raised to Steve Hyer at sjh@igdsolutions.com.
