Peter and other members of the UM MSE graduate student council organized and ran an outreach event at local Forsythe Middle School. There, volunteers taught a class on metallurgy and materials science, demo-ing metal casting and using our portable SEM to look at material microstructures. They presented to over 200 students over the course of 2 days, who had a great time learning about materials science
This event was sponsored in part by Joyworks Studio, who donated the pewter for casting and allowed us to give students a part to take home that they cast themselves.
