ASHRAE really encourages that all of us participate in K-12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activities.  Judging science fairs, giving presentations and helping teachers with science resources are just a few of the ways we can make a difference.  This year I have done one high school level presentation on the role refrigeration has played in mining and have a couple of junior high presentations on hydraulics and pneumatics scheduled for the end of March.  If you have an opportunity to participate, I strongly encourage you to do so (and please let me know).  It is a fun way to give back.

Remember to bring any HVAC/R textbooks that you want to donate to ASHRAE student chapters in developing economies to a monthly meeting so I can get them where they need to go.

As always, students are welcome at any monthly meeting for $5.00!
