Volunteers Needed for SWE-SC Introducing Girls to Engineering Workshop (IGEW)
Girls can become engineers too! This workshop will provide girls, third to sixth grades, with opportunities to do fun hands-on experiments related to several different engineering career fields. They also will be able to find out what different types of engineers do and will meet women engineers who will talk about how they became engineers. We also need volunteers to help with modules and other activities the day of the event.
   When: Saturday, May 3, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
   Where: Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, 5625 Holy Trinity Drive, Melbourne
The cost is $25 and includes lunch, drink, snack, shirt and supplies. Registration is now open at http://www.swe-sc.org/IGEW<http://www.swe-sc.org/IGEW/> for both students and volunteers.

Weather 70 Percent 'Go' for SpaceX Launch
 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/structure/launch/index.html>
The U.S. Air Force 45th Weather Squadron has issued the L-4 Day forecast for the launch of SpaceX-3 to the International Space Station. There is a 70 percent chance of favorable weather with a chance of violating the Thick Cloud Rule and Anvil Cloud Rule. During the mission, the Dragon capsule will deliver about 5,000 pounds of cargo to the orbiting laboratory and return about 3,500 pounds to Earth. Liftoff is targeted for an instantaneous launch window at 4:58 p.m. EDT on Monday, April 14. There is an additional opportunity at 3:25 p.m. on Friday, April 18.

Supernova Cleans Up Its Surroundings
 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/multimedia/supernova-cleanup.html>
Supernovas are the spectacular ends to the lives of many massive stars. These explosions can produce enormous amounts of energy and be as bright as an entire galaxy. As the debris field from the remains of the shattered star - called a supernova remnant - expands, it carries the material it encounters along with it. Astronomers have identified a supernova remnant - known as G352.7-0.1 (or, G352 for short) - which has swept up a remarkable amount of material, equivalent to about 45 times the mass of the Sun.

Plant Growth Chamber to Launch on ISS Cargo Mission
 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/news/veggie/index.html>
A plant growth chamber bound for the International Space Station inside the Dragon capsule on the SpaceX-3 resupply mission may help expand in-orbit food production capabilities in more ways than one, and offer astronauts something they don't take for granted: fresh food.
