Stem4Girls at Umass Dartmouth was awesome!
The Newport County Radio club really stepped up big time. Mike Cullen supplied an FT-8 radio workshop that worked to several countries, Our VP, Jim Sammons, filled in on a catapult workshop for a sick person and I had 2 folks from the club (Mary Nebilo and Dick Bianco) helping in the TinkerCAD/circuits Engineering workshop along with two EE graduate student ladies. Both Melissa and Onelis are in my Antenna Theory class so I have them to ask about homework and maybe a club question. The Wrobles and Beth Cullen worked as chaperones. Wonderful weather too. Around 250 girls from grades 3 to 8 attended.
What an inspiration to the girls!
