1. Middle School Outreach Summer 2011 Anna, Kellee, Latana, and Zac

2. Our Mission  We aim to help middle school aged children in science summer camps explore their options about the future and use their interests to guide their paths!

3. Goals  Visit the Florida State University Magnet Lab and the Challenger Center to give short presentations and survey the students on their interests  Create a comprehensive contact list of local middle schools  Contact local middle schools to establish a connection for future outreach groups

4. What We Accomplished  Visited the Challenger Center’s Robotics Camp on July 12  Created four presentations to provide to the fall outreach group  Collected information on the interests of the students to sculpt a further curriculum  Contact list including the email addresses of principals and technology teachers at the middle schools [including the Metropolitan Cathedral of Truth group of students at Rickards High School]

12. Metrics -100% of the students were interested in computers - 85% interested in games - 46% interested in graphics -61% of kids help fix technology issues in their homes -61% of the children had mobile devices -100% enjoyed science experiments and projects -61% of the kids were interested in at least three of the listed areas of science

13. What does it mean?  Most of the interest lay in gaming and graphics, as well as technology development and security  The combination of strong interest in both science and technology provides ample opportunities for career and future development  If the students continue to pursue their interests, the opportunities they will have as they grow will be exponentially greater than what is present today – awesome!
