Journeys in Engineering, Technology and Science Saturday, December 4, 2010 8:30am-2:00pm Event Information 
Objective The Journeys in Engineering, Technology and Science event seeks to energize middle school students about careers in science and technology while relating the presentations to the middle school science curriculum. The event will also provide information regarding academic pathways and programs available to students in order to be prepared to join the workforce in science and engineering industries. Parental participation and follow-up communications such as newsletters and website resources will strengthen the impact of this experience for students. Target Audience All middle school students from Montgomery County Public Schools will be invited to attend. We will market this event to them through science teachers, counselors, and various school district events. In addition, their parents, teachers, and school counselors will be encouraged to participate. One of the key target groups is those students in middle school that may not be planning to attend college or even consider a scientific career. Approximately 40 percent of those that attended last year were from this population. Agenda Technology companies and agencies will provide interactive sessions for students and parents on interesting careers in STEM and how students can stay engaged in scientific curriculum. Opening Session – Student Panel and Presentation from “Einstein Live” Demonstrations - Robotics, computer programming, fire science, and engineering Three tracks of Technical Sessions - Bioscience and Medicine, Engineering and Environmental Science, and Computer Science. Pathways Fair providing High School and College program and curriculum information Essay competition awards presentation of summer camp scholarships and Apple IPADs Current Sponsors and Technical Presenters for 2010
