About
The Society of Women Engineers is excited to host the 13th annual Kids’ Science and Engineering Day in-person! This year, KSED will take place on Saturday, March 26th, 2022, from 10:00 am-3:00 pm, in the Smith Center for Undergraduate Education (CUE).
KSED offers students in grades K-5 the opportunity to learn basic science and engineering principles through fun, hands-on activities. SWE needs volunteers to help set-up, organize, and interact with the students at the SWE booth from 7:30am to 5:00pm! As a SWE volunteer, you will be provided a FREE T-shirt (register before March 2nd to reserve your T-shirt in the correct size).
We have volunteer opportunities in a variety of areas including goodie bag packing, registration, set-up/clean-up, working with the students, hosting an activity booth with your club and more! Some opportunities will occur before KSED if you are not available on weekends. If you have any questions about volunteering, please email christina.f.webster@wsu.edu.
Training will occur at Pre-KSED on Wednesday March 23rd from 5:30-6:30pm in Spark G0045.
