Happy National Engineering Month Everyone! Your friendly neighborhood NEM Directors wanted to keep you up to date on local NEM celebrations! March 2nd marked the first ever NEM outreach / Rube Goldberg Machine build-a-thon that happened in the student team bay in E5. With the help of local highschool students as well as current UW students, we were able to complete our Rube Goldberg machine for ESSCO’s province-wide project in only one night! Huge thanks to everyone who came out and helped!
On March 4th, the Rube Goldberg Machine started at Lakehead University and travelled across the province via wireless signals. Despite some technical difficulties encountered along the way, the machine finally travelled to Toronto, where the CN Tower was lit up with purple lights to celebrate Engineering spirit! Amazing volunteers from across the province were able to come together and work exceptionally hard to make this event a real success – even though it’s only two years old!
Stay tuned in the weeks to come because NEM isn’t over yet – we plan on bringing back Pi week to celebrate Pi day as well as raise money for charity! $5 will get you a pie to pie someone in the face with, and all money goes to the charity. Spirit and giving back, what could be better? Keep your eyes peeled for information, or ask one of the NEM or charities directors for more details.
Happy National Engineering Month – stay purple!
