Calendars

You will see a series of links to the right.  These are Google Calendars for the different groups in the School of Engineering.  We will be using these calendars to keep students and parents informed of work sessions, dates, etc.  If you have a Google account, you can easily subscribe to the calendar and have the information imported automatically to your own personal calendar.  If you don't have an account, don't worry, the links are here for you to use.

Camp name change

We have changed the name of the Berkeley Project to "Engineers Without Borders".  We are still working on the same project, wind energy.

STEM T-Shirts are in!

The STEM Academy T-Shirts have arrived.  I have them in the engineering lab.  I will not be on campus during the day the next two weeks.  I can give them out Saturday 6/12 during the day or during the camps.
