Students received giveaway items, food, t-shirts, and $50 scholarships for prize categories including “Most likely to be on Survivor” and “Most inspirational karaoke opportunity.” Rural Outreach Coordinator Andrea Kruszka says, “Eagle Works is for students across campus. We encourage interdisciplinary teams since that is the reality of life post-graduation.” The Maker Challenge kicks off an exciting year of Eagle Works activities!
