The night ended with some wonderful show and tell by several COAST members.  Student shared many websites and books that get them inspired to design and create.  Even Professor Goehner got in on the fun and shared how his students surprise and inspire him.  The links of inspiration will be posted on the COAST blackboard for everyone to see. Over all it was a great night and I look forward to our next all COAST meeting in November.
