Student mouse

When we get to SolidWorks and STK units, we will be using the laptops.  Students can do everything with the touchpad.  It is much, much easier with a mouse, so students may want to bring their own USB mouse when we get to those units

Booster Club Meeting

Dear Engineering Booster Club Members,

The November meeting of the Engineering Booster Club is this Tuesday, November 16th, at 7 pm, in the CHS library.

The 2010 Engineering Expo was a huge success! On behalf of the EBC board, I would like to thank all of you who volunteered and helped out with the Expo. It takes many volunteers to make the Expo happen and this year we had a good turnout of parent and student volunteers alike. We're already working on next year's Expo, so it's never too early to step up and offer your assistance.

Topics for this meeting include:

* Recap of the 2010 Engineering Expo - attendance and demographics

* Plans for next year's Expo

* Raffle tickets due Friday, December 3rd in Mr. Yak's drop box

* Raffle held Tuesday, December 7th, at 7 pm, in the CHS library

* Mr. Yak's update

* Solar Car team report

* and more

Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you there.

Cordially,

Tony Huet

CHS Engineering Booster Club President

Expo 2010

The Engineering Expo 2010 was a huge success!  We had between 1200 and 1500 people here on Sunday.  The colleges and universities were very impressed with the students and they work they are doing.  I'm glad the students had a chance to talk with them before the crowds showed up.  It would not have been the success it was without the help and support of all of the parents and volunteers.  I can't thank you enough.  We will be putting together photos and videos soon.

From the Booster Club

Just a reminder that the Engineering Expo is this Sunday, November 7^th and we are still in need of volunteers.

Please go to CHS Engineering Expo on MySignUp if you are able to help out.

We will also need volunteers to help with set up this Saturday, November 6^th morning from 9am-noon at the high school.  In addition we need power strips and grounded extension cords to be brought during set up.  Please use a sharpie to write your name on the item or use duct tape to label your item.

Expo t-shirts will be available for purchase during set up on Saturday morning.  These t-shirts are for adults as well as students and can be worn while volunteering or at competitions.  Cost is $10.

Hopefully your students have been busy selling their raffle tickets.  All students were given 20 raffle tickets to sell.  The flier included with these tickets had a turn in deadline of December 16^th.  However, a vote was taken at the last booster club meeting to move the general meeting up to December 7^th and have the raffle drawing then.  Therefore the deadline for turning in ticket stubs and money has been moved to December 1^st.  We will have a table set up at the Expo if any students want to man this and try to sell their raffle tickets.

I’ll send a reminder to all who have volunteered to help in the next couple of days with details about checking in and duties.

Thank you,

Jane Hays

Membership/Volunteer Chair, CHS Engineering Booster Club

Expo time

Students will be at the Expo on Saturday 11/6 starting at 9am to set up.  We hope to be done by noon if everyone is there on time.  On Sunday, everyone will show up at 9:30.  The colleges will arrive at 10:00.  The colleges will tour the student work at 11.  We will break for lunch at noon.  Then the students will be able to see the colleges from 1 to 2.  The event opens to the public from 2 to 5.  Clean up should take about an hour with everyone's help.

Students can buy expo shirts this weekend for $10.  The shirts will make it easier for others to see who our students are and give us every advantage as we expect over 2000 people to be in attendance.
