Habitat For Humanity
HABITAT for HUMANITY
On May 31, 1997, SWE-NESS members volunteered their time and effort
to help with the Constructive Women Project. This project built a
one-storey home for a single mother, using only women in the construction,
building, and finishing. It is located opposite the URI campus
Science Sleuth,Science Discovery, and Making it Better Badges
Girl Scout Badge Workshops
SWE-NESS coordinates and conducts annual workshops in the RI/CT regions
to help young girls earn science badges. We received a letter of recognition
from the Girl Scouts of Rhode Council thanking us for our time and effort
in helping approximately 800+ girls receive their badges since 1994. Volunteers
are always needed! For more information, see the Career
Guidance page.
Local Women's Shelters
Donations are collected prior to the Christmas season to help amazing
women and children bounce back from hard times. A new "Reaching Out" program
is coming soon.
Newton's Gig, a Professional Development Physics Course for Teachers
"A WORLD IN MOTION"
Developed for teachers in the East Bay Collaborative KITES program and West Bay GEMS-Net
program, NESS members guide teachers in how to relay Newton's Laws to their
students through hands-on experiments. The types of activities performed
have also been used as a basis for an annual competition organized by
SWE-NESS for the elementary students of the KITES and GEMS-Net schools to
kick off National Engineers Week.
