Details about the local, interantional, and fundraising projects were discussed, while new students were introduced to the chapter. Stay tuned as these committees will begin meet and further information about all these projects will come out.

EWB-Case will send Daniel Zula and Jacob Crandall to the Dominican Republic during Spring Break to gather more information for this project.  EWB-Case hopes to implement this project sometime this summer.  During the spring break trip, other students involved with Case-DRIVE will be traveling with EWB students to contribute to this and other service-learning projects in Santo Domingo .

EWB-Case was honored to have Dr. Richard Herring, member of the EWB-USA advisory board, came to Case Western Reserve University on February 24th, as the keynote speaker for the Engineer's Week banquet.  EWB-Case is sincerely thankful of the time Dr. Herring was able to spend with EWB members before the banquet.  His visit was both enjoyable and inspirational.

EWB-Case would like to thank the Case Alumni Association for agreeing to sponsor our EWB project in the Dominican Republic!  EWB-Case is extrememly appreciative of the support of the CAA.  Without such generous donors, EWB-Case could not be part of such an amazing project.  Thank You!

To celebrate the Race at Case, EWB set up a booth on Frieberger Field called "EWB-USA in Yo Face". We had a game in which students had to answer qusetions related to EWB projects and politics. If they got the question right, they won a prize. And if they got the question wrong, they received a silly "punishment" such as getting wrapped in toilet paper or having to wear a dunce cap.

We had a teaching workshop on Sept 20. Dr. Mano Singham (professor of physics and assoc. director of UCITE- University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education) spoke to us about how to effectively design and present lessons on science and engineering topics.
