Friday October 1, 6-8 PM - Reminder
Greetings,
Just a quick reminder that the GMU workshop and clinics (for coaches and team
members) is tonight 6-8PM at the Johnson Center Room E&F on the 3rd Floor.
In addition to the availability of our FLL organizer, judge, and referee
experts, we are excited to confirmed our three subject expert speakers from NIH
and GMU for tonight:
Dr. Joseph J. Pancrazio, Bioengineering Program Director, GMU -
Dr. Grace C.Y. Peng, Program Director, Discovery Science & Technology Div. at
the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, NIH –
Dr. John W. Haller, Program Director, Applied Science & Technology Div. at the
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, NIH –
It will be a great opportunity for the team (kids) to interview experts and ask
questions for their research project on Biomedical Engineering. We will also
have video and demonstration of past competitions from several teams in the
northern Virginia area as well.
In addition, we will have a Lego Swap for the kids. There will be a box full of
Lego pieces where the kids can swap their pieces for other pieces – “One go in –
one come out!”
With the rush hour, traffics will be very bad around Fairfax and GMU at 6PM so
give yourself plenty of time to park and find the Johnson Center! An updated
workshop agenda is below.
Cheers!
T. (Curt) Tran

Reminder - Coaches Workshop and Team Clinics - Meet the experts in
Bioengineering - Friday 6-8 PM, George Mason University, Johnson Center, Fairfax
Greetings,
Glad to see so many communications going around for the Robot Game and rules on
the list server, but rarely see such volume of questions on the Research Project
which has equal score weight-age and lots of creative things to do. Remember
Project solution also leads to the Teamwork development; strategy; focus; roles;
responsibilities and dynamics.
Parents and Teachers are great source to find experts in the biomedical
engineering, but its is not always easy. How about attending GMU Coaches
Workshop and team Clinics where you will meet academics and researchers from
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging & Bioengineering.
Besides our own volunteers and experienced coaches, we have invited
bioengineering experts from NIH and GMU as well as top two teams from the 2009
VA/DC FLL State Championship.
