Just a friendly reminder that the next SMART meeting is this Saturday at 2pm in
the Michelangelo room at Digipen.

The mini-challenge is Easter Egg Hunt. See below for a reminder of the details.
BTW: the walls are a fraction over 2" high.

See you in a few days!

should somehow pick up the eggs (taking care not to unwrap them), and drop them
over the wall, preferably at the corners.
