4/17/2007: Meeting Minutes
Attendance: Nasir Bhanpuri, Luke Johnson, Issel Lim, Aaron Wong
Essay Competition
A thorough discussion of the essay contest was conducted by N. Bhanpuri. It was agreed that the essay contest would be held off until next year (Fall?), to give more time for adequate planning of the contest. The contest will be distributed via guidance counselors and/or high school science teachers, who will be sent a cover letter (to be drafted by N. Bhanpuri) and a copy of the application to distribute. Additional contest information including resources will be posted on the NETI website. Other potential points of contact for distribution were suggested including people involved in Teach for America or local outreach programs such as SOURCE.
The contest will consist of 2 essay questions, of which one must be answered in a reference-supported manner. Loosely, the two topics involve the future of the field or an ethical consideration of the field. First and second place prizes will be awarded for each category.
As a promotional suggestion for the contest, it has been proposed that a short 10-15 minute video clip (on CD or other medium) will be distributed with the essay contest featuring members of NETI that discusses the field.
N. Bhanpuri will meet with Allen Strong to discuss financial and privacy matters, to ascertain how to go about obtaining and distributing prize moneys.
Next Meeting
The next NETI group meeting has been proposed for the first week of June, at which time the summer seminar series will be organized and the essay contest will be further discussed.
