We cleaned up both courtyards by removing weeds, replanting native flora, disposing of dead branches, leaf fall, etc.

I drove Wendy, Rachel, myself, and Sophia to camp Tanasi. Spoke to Girl Scouts about the STEM field, my major, and college in general. Throughout the day, we had them conduct three experiments, creating an alternative to plastic rings on six packs, a vehicle to safely drop an egg in from the balcony, and a zip-line vehicle to safely transport a ping pong ball from the top of the line to the bottom. Mainly, we tried to expose the girls different disciplines of engineering and promote involvement in the STEM field.

I had a great experience packing oatmeal into bags. Though it was a simple process, I knew those bags would make a difference in someone’s life, so it was very fulfilling.
