Geek Prom 2010 Event Coordination (view source)
Revision as of 00:10, 18 March 2014
, 00:10, 18 March 2014Robot: Cosmetic changes
We'll be throwing Geek Prom again after such a great showing last year. For those that missed, we had our first [[Geek Prom]] on June 13, 2009 and were able to get press coverage, show off our members' projects to the larger public (of which we should have many more this year!), and raise funds for growing our space. If you're interested in joining the planning of this year's, please volunteer below.
