Week 5’s word of the week was “innovative!” 💡This week, the WF LEAP interns explored the Innovation Studio at Wake Downtown, where they got a look into 3D printing using Ultimaker Cura. They wrapped up the week at @cdiwsnc by looking into technologies, like drones and robot dogs, which are pivotal in helping our communities today and in the future.

Rewind to Week 4⏪ Last week the LEAP interns developed their public speaking and networking skills with a workshop led by James Proszek, followed by a networking mixer with their mentors. They explored WFU’s Identity Spaces @interculturalwfu @lgbtqatwfu and @wfuwomenscenter to learn about supportive spaces to build community on college campuses. On Friday, the interns took a deep dive into woodworking and welding with @mixxercommunitymakerspace , an enriching opportunity to gain hands-on experience with these skills and even take home their creations!
