With most schools announcing that they will be closed for the remainder of the academic year, ASCE sections, branches, and student chapters are looking for ways to virtually connect with schools.
What we are doing as part of ASCE Philadelphia YMF is creating a #AskAnEngineer initiative. We have emailed our local STEM connections to ask if they or their students have any questions and will be compiling questions until the end of the month. Then in May, the YMF Board and I plan to record answers to the questions submitted and then stitch them together for a YouTube video. We have received a handful of questions so far and hope to receive many more by the end of the month.
Also if you haven't seen already, ASCE's Pre-College Outreach Team has put together some amazing resources including a whole new series titled "STEM @ Home " on the following page:

Excited to read about what you are doing locally!
