Event Recap: Moon Day 2018
Moon Day honors previous space flight accomplishments and focuses on current and future activities in space exploration. The annual STEM-focused event, held on July 21, 2018, at the Frontiers of Flight Museum, served over 1,300 visitors. The Dallas Section of SWE exhibited this year again. We had a blast! Event attendees that visited our tables had a “MARS-velous” time designing and building rovers and other vehicles that can be used for space exploration. They learned about how design impacts function and they let their creative juices flow using fun colors and decorations to personalize their vehicles. Thanks to some amazing SWE volunteers, the activity was a hit and the event was a success! Can’t wait until next year!

On behalf of the Dallas SWE Executive Council, welcome to FY19! We are looking forward to another great year, with continued opportunities for professional development, social activities, outreach, and so much more.

Before I talk about the future, I want to thank every FY18 officer, committee chair, and committee member for their hard work and dedication to our Dallas SWE section. Your time and efforts ensured that FY18 was another successful year for Dallas SWE (read the FY18 Year in Review).
We’ve already kicked the year off with one of our longstanding STEM Outreach traditions, participating in Moon Day at the Frontiers of Flight Museum on July 21 (recap coming soon).
