It is that time of year again for MSSA’s annual Penny Wars! This charity fundraiser will benefit Connections for the Homeless and the Boys & Girls Club Holiday Gift Drive. This year’s theme is Materials Science Core Classes (Thermodynamics, Structures, Phase Transformations, Defects, Mechanical Properties, and Physics of Solids). We will periodically send updates on the current status of the competition, and the winning team will be announced on December 16th at the end of the Penny Wars.
See the “Penny Wars” tab for more information.
