Hey everyone,

The TC/HCDE department asked us to let students know that there are spaces open in 231 this summer. If you’re still looking for classes (especially CE students), this could be a good option.

I know it’s early, but we have 50 6th graders coming on May 28th from 8-9am. I have one generous student who has offered to give a demo on tactile graphics, but I need one or two more students to help us entertain 25 6th graders, then they will switch groups and you’ll do the same demo again. I can help you come up with something to do if you don’t have anything. But if you have some cool research going on, I would really appreciate your help. Or if you can just muster the energy to be here, I’ll take that at this point. Please??
