AIS march 1st.

Folks

 

We have a very busy Saturday –chock full of activities in order that we end on time. I will start promptly by 8:45 AM. You can come in any time after 8:00 AM.

 

ü  One of the Lockheed Martin program folks, very excited by the program, wants to take pictures of all of you. This will be only for LM internal use—just to show how great you all are!! If someone DOES NOT WANT TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED, please LET US KNOW SATURDAY MORNING!!

ü  ALL PARENTS are requested to Attend-there are Moms and dads I have not seen all year-would love to AT LEAST ONCE –PLEASE COME

ü  If someone has not paid Danielle for the party-PLEASE REMEMBER to do so.

 

AGENDA:

 

1.      Brief words on Pictures-Rhonda Hewitt (4 minutes!!)

2.      Brief presentation by Ron Gird on Citizen Science (6 minutes)-How to set up a weather Station at home. We will have a sign in sheet for you to sign in-no cost, no pressure!!

3.      Brief presentation by Dr.TANGIRALA (6 minutes) –on a field trip of a real-time ambient air quality monitoring station in DC on a warm day in Spring/Summer. Please think about if a day during Spring Break will work or on one of the MCPS holidays (if not cancelled). We will have a sign in sheet for you to sign in. Would also need a Volunteer to coordinate this-one of the Parents-if not I WILL PICK!!

·        Parents of these kids-Please bring your presentation on a USB (thumb drive) and have a paper copy or two (or more if you need) of the presentation-in case my laptop/projector combo does not work (and there is some system maintenance planned for the morning)

·        If someone else has a projector-please bring so that we can have 2 kids going at the same time-since we are time constrained.

·        These kids will be awarded their certificates.

5.      Parent’s day and registration for next year info (3 minutes!)

6.      Repeat info about form 1260, who cannot present at NIST, NEED for badges etc.
