Hello Fellow Volunteers!
Just wanted to remind you all about another volunteer opportunity! Captain John L. Chapin High School is in need of mentors for their senior pre-engineering magnet students. These kiddos are in the final stretch of their senior projects and just need someone to offer a few words of advice. Attached is the list of projects. If you are interested please respond to this email with the name of the student(s) you would like to mentor. Thank you in advance for all of your time and effort!

Hello Fellow Volunteers!!
The TSA Regional Contest is currently underway and they need college students to judge several events. We are looking for volunteers to judge the Graphic Solutions portion on Wednesday evening from 6pm to 9pm. In addition they need judges for the NQE Projects on Thursday during the day from 10:30am to 1:00pm. The contest is being held at Burges High School and food will be provided both days. Attached is a schedule for the contest and below are the directions to Burgess High School from the UTEP campus. If you would like to volunteer please respond to this email with your name and phone number. Thank you in advance for all of your time and effort!

Hello everyone!
Here is the latest information about Science Extravaganza, if you are volunteering, make sure to check this often, as any new information will be posted and updated here.
Time: We need to check in at the UGLC Lobby between 7:30am – 8:00am.
Attire: They will provide t-shirts for us.
We will only have one big lab. Ivan Gris will direct the workshop, everyone else will help students individually if they get stuck along the way.
Training for the members participating will take place between 8:00 – 9:00am during the same Saturday.
This event ends at 2:30.
As far as I know, lunch will be provided as well.
The lab is on the second floor of the old engineering bldg. I don’t remember the number but I’ll post it together with any new information that comes up here!
Special thanks to Jaime Jaloma, Joe Segura, Ana Quevedo, Esthela Gallardo, and Ivan Gris for volunteering for this event!

Workshop Description
Science Extravaganza is one of the biggest and greatest outreach programs hosted by engineering organizations. The program targets high school students, which will get a one day unique experience at UTEP. We are in the stages of planning this event again for this coming spring semester and it will be held March 12th (Saturday). The ACM has been invited to participate and host a workshop for this event. This year our target will be geared toward high school freshmen.The workshop is a hands on activity related to scientific visualization, that will introduce them to one of the research areas in the engineering field.
Innova Gameworks and Animations former officers, now ACM officers had a blast helping with this activity last year!
Science Extravaganza
Since the 1980s, the College of Engineering has invited pre-college students, teachers and parents to celebrate National Engineers Week as part of the Engineering and Science Expo. Our efforts to meet the growing demand of engineering awareness have led us to collaborate with other events on campus. We look forward to sharing these exciting tours with high school juniors interested in answers to their engineering questions. Tours will engage students and teachers with engineering faculty and students who will share their research experiences and their laboratories.
The UTEP student chapter of MAES/SHPE also supports the national E-Week celebration with their fun-filled Science Extravaganza. This event is part of the organizations outreach to middle school students. Students will spend the whole day learning about science and engineering through projects ranging from water bottle rockets to the infamous Chemistry Circus. Students will also be exposed to the facilities of the UTEP campus, and more importantly, college students like themselves who attended the same exact school and live in their same neighborhoods.
