Past Events
May 5, 2019 - 2:30pm SWE NESS 30th Anniversary Celebration at Dan's Tavern on the Green in North Kingstown. To celebrate 30 years since the founding of our chapter, we held a dinner with a keynote speaker, and a photo slide show of our accomplishments over the past years. The party theme was Star Wars AND the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. We had space themed favors and challenges. Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us! It was a lot of fun!
Jonna Gerken, FY18 National SWE President, gave an inspiring talk at the 30th Anniversary Celebration about seizing opportunities and travelling to new places!
Congrats to our founding members!

March 9, 2019, 1 to 3pm Design – Leap Bots with the Brownies at
Pattagansett in East Lyme, CT. Help Design, Discover, Build, Teach! and lead a Brownie Badge workshop. Groups of 2 or 3 third graders will be building leap bots to earn one of the mechanical design badges. What's a Leap Bot? Leap Bots are built from thread spools and use springs to "leap" up a dowel.
March 8, 2019 - 6 to 9pm Design, Discover, Build, Teach! with high school Girl Scouts at Pattagansett in East Lyme, CT. Join us for a relaxing evening working with High School age girls, encouraging them to pursue a STEM education while we do hands-on on STEM activities. Due to the small group size, we really get to interact and get to know these girls over the course of the evening. Activities usually draw from Design Squad Activities guides.
February 16, 2019 - 11am to 2pm Be an Engineer! at Providence Children's Museum. Children participate in stations set up with activities from each engineering discipline run by volunteers from SWE NESS and collegiate chapters.
February 9, 2019 - 9 to 12 Girl Scout Workshop at Roger Williams University. 60 Girls attended and earned a SWE badge. Favorite stations included the materials engineering egg bungee design, the civil engineering tower building, and the song and rap station. The girls learned a lot about what it means to be an engineer and had a lot of fun doing it! Thanks to Sue for organizing and running the workshop!
January 25, 2019 - 9 to 4 Engineers to the Rescue with Girl Scout Cadettes at Pattagansett in East Lyme, CT. The theme of the event was a camping trip to Yellowstone where an earthquake hits! Our tents are ruined, the water in the campground broke and our food is at the bottom of the ravine! Girl Scouts in grades 4-6 use engineering to solve these problems by building scale models.
