E.Mail from Raj about Parents day: 


1.       The 2nd Saturday in MARCH (2016) is PARENT's DAY-Last day of AIS for this session and is HELD AT NIST.


2.       Parent's day is a Program where children from ALL the sites convene to present projects they have been working on  from January


3.       Projects presentations last from about 5 to 15 minutes-Average presentations so far have lasted about 10 minutes for our site kids.


4.       Your children either perform an experiment, read up on some topic and write things down (PLEASE ENCOURAGE THEM NOT TO COPY VERBATIM FROM GOOGLE or OTHER SITES) in a reasonably cogent order.


5.       We will send you the topics from previous years (as an example)


6.       Presentation charts can be Power Point/Word slides-NO FANCY Programs OR APPLICATIONS will be installed on the computers. PLEASE Keep it simple.


7.       They can bring Display Boards to Show what they did-but after their presentations.


8.       If they want to they can work with a sibling or friend (from LM or other sites)


9.       As Parents and Guardians, you are requested NOT to do their presentations for them BUT ENCOURAGED to guide them-give tips/ideas. Your kids ARE smart-they are lots more capable than they are given credit for!!



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 1.       Presentations at NIST are for those that formally registered on the web site or later and paid money to AIS


2.       For those  that registered later with me, your kids will present at Lockheed Martin on the first Saturday in March


3.       For those folks that have other activities on the second Saturday and cannot have their kids present, please let me know and your kids can present at LM on the first Saturday in March.


4.       In January/early February time frame we will send out more guidance and request for information-nothing complicated but what we need for badges to enter NIST/arrival times etc-PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS TILL JANUARY


5.       All kids that do a presentation (at either place), will receive a certificate.


6.       We would like ALL the children to do a Presentation-hence we NEED you to Encourage them (AND SPEND A Little TIME with them)
