WOW Day Recap

We spent WOW Day meeting incoming freshmen and introducing them to the club — what we do, what a real meeting looks like, and why it's worth showing up to. It's always a good reminder of why we do this: there's a whole new group of students out there who just haven't looked up yet. If you stopped by our table, thank you for the conversation. If you missed us, the door's still open — head to our Join Us page, no orientation table required.

Building planets from paper

This meeting's craft: torn-paper mosaic planets. Members tore and layered colored paper to build their own worlds — no scissors, just texture and color choices, from fiery reds to icy blues and purples. Simple materials, and every planet came out different.
