Judges Wanted for Shocker Mindstorms

Monday, January 18th, 2010

We need SWE professional members as judges of the SWE course at the annual Shocker Mindstorms event.  This challenge is for middle school students and is sponsored by the WSU College of Engineering and the College of Education, WSU Mindstorms

The dates are:

  • Trial Day: February 20, 2010, 10am to 2pm, Heskett Center
    (Judges need stay only 1-2 hours)
  • MINDSTORMS Challenge: March 6, 2010, 9am to 4pm, Heskett Center
    (Judges needed for all day)

This is a fun event that gives you an opportunity for seeing these young minds at work.  We need at least 2 judges who can commit to both days.  Judges attend a general briefing on trial day and then become familiar with their course.  On challenge day, we keep order when runs are made and judge the actual attempts.  The WSU SWE students will be there to oversee the course, we just have to judge.

Please contact Barbara Davis at barbara.davis@swe.org, if you are interested, or if you have any questions.

LEGO Mindstorms:   There are a couple of opportunities for those who are interested in helping out with this ongoing event.  (1)The WSU section will be building the course on Friday, October 30th from 3:30-? (you don’t have to take off work to come help, just come afterward) and Saturday, October 31st from 9am-2pm.  Location will be confirmed later.  The course is already designed but they could use some help building it.  (2) Volunteers are needed to judge the day of the competition.  This event will be on Saturday, March 6th.  Judges may also need to be there for the Trial Day which is Saturday, February 20th.  Judging just consists of watching the teams attempt our course & giving them points for completing tasks, based off the created point system.

WISE/DSI Breakfast Chat:  SWE is having a breakfast chat with some of the girl participants of the Wallace Scholar competition.  The students are looking for 1 or 2 professional members to talk to the participants.  The breakfast chat will be from approx. 8:30-9:30am on Friday, November 13th.

Contact Sarah Stallard at sastallard@wichita.edu if you can help with either event.
