This past Thursday, November 9th, UTMB DIG members presented Stay Shady to 130 fifth grade students at Austin Middle School. Michael Ryan (MS2) gave an interactive Stay Shady Presentation and discussed ways to stay safe in the sun and Tyler Marion (MS3), Daniel Burkholder (MS3), and Catherine Hazen (MS2) facilitated small groups for the students to make UV bracelets with special beads that change color when exposed to harmful UV rays. The teachers were very supportive and welcoming to DIG members, and the students enjoyed the presentation and had fun making color-changing UV bracelets. Austin Middle School Teachers say they "can't wait for DIG to come back again next year!"
