SWE Overseas in India

The last two weeks I have been leading a trip for the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) at the University of Michigan to India. Eleven of us traveled to India to work on an outreach project. We ran a four day science and engineering summer camp for students at Bharat Children's Academy, a school sponsored by Walchandnagar Industries and located in Walchandnagar. We also did some traveling on our own - to the Taj Mahal, around Mumbai, to the Elephanta Caves, and to a few other UNESCO World Heritage Sites near the Taj Mahal. I have some pictures of my own from the trip, but here's the link to the actual blog for our group. Our blog explains in much more detail what we were actually doing with the school and how we spent our time in India. Each day was written by a different person on the trip - luckily we had 11 people and there were 11 non-travel days to write about! We were reposted to the umich.edu homepage and a few other places, so our blog had a lot of views, which is really exciting!

Here are some pictures from India:
