JBER Girl Scout Workshop

Volunteers Melissa Branch, Keri Nutter, Shorty Mormilo, and Jo Neumaier participated in the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) Girl Scouts Art, Architecture, and Engineering workshop at Ft Richardson today. This is the first time SWE Greatland has participated in this particular workshop. Approximately 80 girls grades 4 through 9 attended and participated in the event. Our activity was "dirt towers" to explain and exhibit the use of geosynthetics to strengthen roads, retaining structures, and embankments. Thanks to the volunteers that gave up their Saturday to educate our future engineers!
