On Thursday, September 30, 2010, the Boston Chapter for the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE Boston) hosted its second annual Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at Microsoft New England Research and Development (NERD) Center in Cambridge, MA.The purpose of the event was to celebrate the many contributions that the Latin community has made to the Greater Boston area, including food, music and art, as well as to share the stories of two Latinos who have pursued successful careers in engineering.

On "Impact Day" the idea is to deliver four workshops to students in 5th and 6th grade; which would be approximately 120 kids. These workshops are aimed at helping kids get interested in science and engineering by giving them hands on exposure to interesting and educational workshops. The four workshops are: (1) Bottle rocket, (2) ice cream, (3) egg drop, and (4) buoyant boats. Students and professionals are welcome to volunteer if they are interested in participating in this event and interacting not only with the kids but also with the Deloitte volunteers.
