DEMING – Members of New Mexico State University’s Society of Women Engineers (SWE) are starting an engineering outreach program in Deming.
The program, SWENext, will offer Deming youth an opportunity to become part of the Society of Women Engineers as a student through the age of 18 at no cost.
NMSU member Maria Carmona-Montalvo described SWENext as a program designed to show youth that careers in STEM – or science, technology, engineering and mathematics – can help them transcend their surroundings.
Carmona-Montalvo said donations are needed to establish the outreach program in Deming, adding that any sized donation will make an immediate difference.
For example, she said a donation of $5 can help them purchase glue to show students how polymers are made, while $10 can help them restock supplies for SWENext experiments, $25 will allow them to increase the quality of experiments with their Deming student group, and $250 will allow them to run the Deming SWENext program for an entire semester.
Reportedly, any student can become a SWENexter. For those younger than 13, a parent will need to be the primary contact.

The donation campaign runs through January 26th, 2019.
