Judges for Science & Engineering Fair of Houston
SWE-HA will once again be awarding (2) $500 valued awards to middle and high school students participating in the Science and Engineering Fair of Houston. We are looking for about 10 volunteers to attend and help judge the projects. We will not be judging on technical specifications, but instead are focused on the qualitative aspect of their projects. This includes speaking with the students on
how they came up with their projects, improvements they would make on their project in the future, what was their thought process behind the project, and so on.

Ongoing Events:
Alief STEM Speakers - General Request
We are excited to be working with Alief ISD and their high school students in the ASES Program. The ASES program allows high school students to graduate with an Associate of Science in Engineering Science degree through Houston Community College, in tandem with their high school diploma!
We are looking for STEM speakers who can meet with these students (virtually or in-person) to discuss an array of topics. The different types of topics can include college interviews, what college is like, your degree & school experience, what your job is now and how you got there, general mentorship to students, etc. The topic of discussion can be decided upon between the students and our speakers.
Our goal is to create an inventory of STEM speakers we can offer to these students to help prepare them for entering college and ultimately the real world! The time and dates are flexible for this opportunity. We are seeking volunteer speakers who can reach out to these students anytime between Monday-Friday during the rest of the semester. Any in-person speaking opportunities will be on the west side of town, at Houston Community College - Alief Hayes Campus.
Rice Center for Engineering Leadership (RCEL)
RCEL’s mission is to inspire, educate, and develop, ethical leaders in technology who will excel in research, industry, non-engineering career paths, or entrepreneurship.
RCEL’s programing enhances a traditional engineering education by providing skills not typically covered in the Rice engineering curriculum. Through a series of curricular and co-curricular learning experiences, RCEL students learn to create and communicate a vision, build a high-performing team, form and execute collaborative plans, and create innovations that endure.
RCEL welcomes professionals who have leadership or project management experience to participate as guest observers in our leadership labs. Because the focus of the labs is leadership rather than technical problem-solving, this opportunity is not limited to any specific engineering field. Rather, the crucial prerequisites are leadership experience and interest in working with students.
Engineer in the Room is a compact (about two hours) but rewarding opportunity to share the benefit of your experience with some of Rice’s brightest and most ambitious students. You will observe the students as they work through a scenario in class, and provide coaching and feedback when they finish.
