Folks if haven't heard.... Woodie Flowers<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.usfirst.org_aboutus_bio_dr-2Dwoodie-2Dflowers&d=BQMFAg&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=TiTIfD_MCBhn5BWzUvWGIA&m=RmQrGZVcYcmAu0q4mPbdU4UwwC7JRx-CP4EeQPrxa_g&s=LUTEHpjG_KRRTD-dN58PRvyXcBistKQxtpA3iqLe_AE&e=> is coming to the "Meet the Experts" festival at the USPTO this Saturday. Woodie, along with Dean Kamen, founded the FIRST organization. He's a wonderfully inspiring speaker, an expert on creativity and robotics, a retired MIT engineering professor - and a really cool guy. He'll be wearing one of his trademark "sign my shirt" shirts - don't miss the opportunity to get your name on his denim. He's a rockstar in the world of FIRST - most people only get to see him in Saint Louis at the World Championship! This will be a great opportunity for you to meet other teams and get advice from experts from the field. We also just found out that Dr. Dean Roberts from Rolls-Royce North America<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.rolls-2Droyce.com_customers_civil-2Daerospace_customer-2Dfocus_one-2Dcareful-2Downer.aspx&d=BQMFAg&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=TiTIfD_MCBhn5BWzUvWGIA&m=RmQrGZVcYcmAu0q4mPbdU4UwwC7JRx-CP4EeQPrxa_g&s=obsYWPw7MF_x6h7IwJlPqfEAkmz8DQzTlj_JDlwslGo&e=> will be joining us as well.
