Description of Expenses: 
Refreshments came as described, albeit, we had an oversupply of pizza compared to the actual turnout. Drinks/soft drinks were served and the venue had ample space for food/drinks. P card was not used for the purchasing of food and drinks (P card was missing), so Natasha ended up using her own credit card for payment.

Overall Evaluation: 
The workshop was a success and the students had a blast. The event started off with a tour of the CEID workspace and branched off into a workshop where students built structures with a lightbulb to explore how material interacts with light. Publicity of the event was visible on Facebook, but the confirmation emails weren't sent out when people signed up for the event. As a result, not many people received notice of the event until the day of the event. Next time, this problem will be addressed earlier to ensure sufficient turnout.
