IMPACT TTU invites you to volunteer with or donate books to the One Book One World (OBOW) Library Initiative! From October 19 through November 30, OBOW will hold a book drive for new and gently used books that will be donated to local families. This is a great opportunity to make an impact on our local community, as research shows that a large home library with an assortment of books means a child is likely to have not only better test scores but also a higher understanding of literacy in general. For this fall book drive, OBOW is teaming up with Impact Tech, Rural Reimagined at TTU, and Teens Need Training. This fall we would like to have STEM-related books, but we are grateful for any donations. We’ve created an Amazon wishlist for inspiration, or, if the mood strikes – actual purchase. We are on Facebook @OBOWLibrary. Visit the wishlist here ttps://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/370YJEN6I6YYA?ref_=wl_share, or contact Mr. Chris Qualls at mcqualls@tntech.edu to learn more. 

The Student Members of the American Chemical Society will be giving away free activity bags for National Chemistry Week (NCW) to the campus and community. The bags will contain a booklet with information about several activities that can be completed at home, as well as some supplies to make Jello slime and other chemistry related items. The bags will be distributed at the STEM Center lobby on Saturday, Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. or while supplies last. There will also be a coloring sheet for people to color and enter into a contest to win gift cards. Please share this information with anyone that might be interested and help us spread the value chemistry bring to our lives. The activities are suitable for all ages. Questions can be sent to smacsttu@gmail.com
