Introduce a Girl to Green Technology (WChE) [02/18/2023]

We had a blast hosting Wind Energy and Oil Spills & Wildlife booths at Women in Chemical Engineering’s (WChE) 7th annual Introduce a Girl to Green Technology event! Kids made their own pinwheels as we introduced them to renewable energy, and also learned about how oil spills affect wildlife with a fascinating water, oil, and soap demonstration.

Agar Plates at Hazen High School [11/(18&22)/2022]

We had an amazing time growing microorganism cultures on agar plates at Hazen High School. In pairs, we chose hypotheses and tested them out. We let the plates culture over the weekend, and caught up over a Zoom call the next week. We uploaded our results, along with our hypotheses and observations, to an online…

Potluck + Social [10/16/2022]

Following our virtual general information session earlier in the week (for the 20+ prospective members we gathered via mailing lists and tabling at the Red Square), we kicked the new academic year off with a fun afternoon outside the Physics and Astronomy Building! Many thanks to all who showed up (including new prospective members!), and…

Distributed 50 Journals! [05-06/2022]

On our request, UW MEM-C personnel donated 50 high-level academic journals. We facilitated their distribution to two local high schools over the last two months. We hope that folks at Seattle World School and Hazen High School will find the journals insightful and motivational! Thank you, MEM-C!

Science Day at Seattle World School: Soldering Flashlights [05/16/2022]

We had a blast facilitating our flashlight soldering event during the entire school day at Seattle World School. Everyone had fun and went home with their own flashlight! Many thanks to all STEM Pals volunteers, Mr. Yi and UW MEM-C for making this happen. YES! This is our first ever STEM Pals-created in-person event! Here’s…

Mythbusters with STEM Pals [05/26/2021]

We ended our first quarter in action with a blast… and by bringing a reality check to blasts in movies (among other special effects and illusions). Great work everybody!

Science Project Presentations II [05/19/2021]

We were honored to see even more of our comrades in Eisenhower High School present their science projects to us, and answer our questions as we judged their work based off a rubric used for science fair projects. Impressive work, y’all!

Good job! Below is a picture symbolizing their projects. Spoiler: Highlight the invisible/white text directly below this line using your…

Pandemic Simulation [05/05/2021]

This Cinco de Mayo, we worked on a basic introduction to simulations, variables and functions before trying to model the COVID-19 pandemic. We used a simple Python simulation (GIF below!) to try simulations out first-hand!

Edible Torture Jeopardy [04/28/2021]

Our second event at the Eisenhower High School went by amazingly. We learnt a lot about Latin, clouds, historical scientists, banana radiation and orders of magnitude. Here’s to hoping our STEM Pals will not have (too many) tummy issues! xD
