Glenn,

This seems like a model that many other Chapters might be interested in following as well.

Congratulations on a great program.

Hi All
It's  school break in Ontario and we  organized a  hands  on  workshop for three basic  electronic workshops  in our  city for  low income  children who normally don't  have access to free  workshops focused on elementary  electricity which is a  gateway learning to appreciation of  electronics and engineering

We had  six  students as  trainers from  Women in Engineering at UOIT  together with our foundation, Foundation for Building  Sustainable Communities.  All nine of us  provided  one on one  assistance to the young  children 

All the children took home  more than toys, they learned to problem solve and  build . basic  electrical  circuits.
