SWE event for high school students to learn about engineering majors
Teachers,
We have an outreach event that your students may be interested in. It is open to both girls and boys
in grades 9-12. It is on October 14th from 10 am - 3 pm. We will be briefly discussing all the
engineering majors but the activities will be focusing on Computer/Electrical, Civil/Architectural, and Mechanical.
Also a company called Vantiv will be doing a short presentation.
Sign ups for this event can be done online at
http://uc.swe.org/high-school-outreach.html
There is a $5 registration fee for lunch and supplies which can be brought in the day of the event or mailed in ahead of time.
If they have any questions or need more information please contact Emily @uc.swe.hsoutreach@gmail.com.

As always, if you only come to the SOS-AAPT meeting, the cost will be $10 for the meeting and, if you choose, a further $10 for lunch.
Our Saturday events include:
" Plenary talk by Tom Forster, on problem solving
" Plenary talk by Ben Schumacher, on quantum flows of probability
" Panel discussion about implementing AP Physics 1, featuring SOS-AAPT board members Kevin McChesney, Kathy Harper, and Doug Forest
" And, as always, contributed talks; if you'd like to contribute a talk for a 15-minute slot, submit an abstract when you register.
The deadline for registering and submitting an abstract is Friday, September 15.
