WebMaster
Dave reported he has recruited a qualified volunteer, Sergio Moraes. The group approved his recommendation. Dave will proceed with bringing Sergio on board
Engineering Fair
Paul reported that the popsicle bridge competition is tentatively been scheduled for 6 Mar 2021 at the Museum of Flight. This is important to us if we want to schedule a physical Engineering Fair concurrent with the competition.
Bethany had some thoughts for a virtual approach to our Engineering Fair. Each society would create a 10 minute video to be shown online in a virtual meeting. This might be presented concurrently with the virtual Washington State Science and Engineering Fair (WSSEF) scheduled on 26-27 March 2021. Bethany will investigate this approach. Carmen volunteered to help Bethany with this approach.
Engineering Banquet
A decision will be made in our December meeting if we will reschedule for spring 2021 or fall 2021
Mentor Nights
Luis had an interesting conversation with Seattle Central College. The contact there is enthusiastic about the mentor night using a ZOOM feature that provides breakout sessions. Luis will explore the capabilities of this feature.
