Opportunity to start a LEGO
robotics team:
Newton's high school
robotics team, Team 2877 NASA, PTC, BEC,
Raytheon Newton Ligerbots is planning an
outreach to all elementary and middle schools
this Spring to generate interest in Science and
Technology.
While we are currently busy planning for
our own competition, we are also volunteering at
nearby events, and planning a program to present
at the elementary and middle schools to
introduce the entire Newton community to our
team. One way that we can engage more students
in the fun of Science and Technology would be to
act as mentors to new teams started at any
school.
To find out about the outreach
program and getting your own robotics team
organized, contact Debbie Lund, Newton North
Coach of Team 2877 NASA, PTC, BEC, Raytheon

STAND
FOR CHILDREN ANNUAL SUMMIT
The
second event is Stand for Children's annual
education summit on Saturday, January 24th at
Reading High School from 8:30-3:30. The
Summit is for parents, teachers, elected
officials, and community members like us who are
concerned about children and public education
and want to learn more about how to make a
difference in this tough economic
climate.
This year, the theme will
be how to work together to keep our commitment
to kids in tough times. It's always a great
opportunity to connect with likeminded people
and to talk together about how to protect our
schools and move them forward. Speakers
will include education, policy, business, and
advocacy experts.
Details are
below. You can contact Allison Balter at
abalter@stand.org with any
questions. We look forward to seeing you
there!
