VMYDF College Festival Recap

Dallas SWE participated in the Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation College Festival in October! The festival invites High school students to the Success Center to learn about college, interact with local college representatives, learn tips for applying, and shows them how different college majors lead to real careers. Dallas SWE led activities that explored different fields of engineering (including electrical, mechanical, and biomedical) and initiated discussions on how these fields can show up in different careers. Students got hands-on with a beginner circuitry kit, and saw aspects of different engineering fields with injection molded plastic components for medical devices, a semiconductor wafer, and a 3D printed box. Dallas SWE’s partnership with VMYDF was established in 2023.

Thank you to Dallas SWE volunteers Amanda Alsbrook, Isabel Wetegrove, Adeola Adediran, Danielle Henry, Savitha Pinnepalli, and Lyndsey Bouve.
