MSEC NewsletterVol. 1. Num. 3 Mercer Science and Engineering Club
Newsletter Newsletter Contents Welcome to our first Club newsletter. We are well on our way for the 2005 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair. Our newsletter covers information related to the club and fair. A newsletter archive is located on our website along with a host of over useful documents and links. 1. MSEF Winner Makes DCYSC Final Forty David Sharples, a 7th grader at Chapin School and a winner at the 2004 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair, is part of the "Final Forty" in the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge (DCYSC). Check out our website for the press release. We are very proud of David's accomplishments and wish him well in this final competition in Washington, D.C. We would like to encourage all schools to let their students know about David's success so they will be encouraged to raise the level of competition at next year's 53rd annual Mercer Science and Engineering Fair. 2. MSEF 2005 Training Session A Success Our 2005 Training Session went off with plenty of enthusiasm even though we had a smaller group than the 2005 Kickoff Meeting. All the presentations are available online. Teachers that attended got to walk away with robot and electronic kits donated by our sponsors. In future sessions, teachers will be able to earn professional development hours now that we have completed our first training session.
3. MSEC is now a 501 The Mercer Science and Engineering Club has always been intended as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization but it is now official. We have received our 501(c)(3) letter from the IRS. We are now actively courting new sponsors for the 2005 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair.
The Club and Fair are growing. We are looking for new members and Fair sponsors. Membership and sponsorship details can be found on the website.
