Science Fair

Kid Zone

Welcome to the fabulous world of science! The National Society of Black Engineers understands that in order to accomplish this mission we must raise the awareness of pre-college students to opportunities in science and technology. Science fairs are an excellent venue for pre-college students to display their creativity and scientific abilities. Students get an opportunity to research, in detail, a topic chosen by and interesting to them. Through science fair projects, students will discover how science relates to every part of their lives. The purpose of the Team Engineering Design Competition is to expose pre-college students to a hands-on, team oriented, collaborative activity that involves mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, software engineering,computer engineering, electrical engineering, and industrial engineering. Upon completion of the design project, teams will exhibit their designs at the 2009 Fall Regional Conferences held in each of the six NSBE regions. Kid Zone Conference is a conference specifically targeted toward at-risk Black students in grades 3 through 5. It is designed to help prepare them for academic challenges in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math. It is hoped that through this program the students will gain an interest in these subjects that allows them to excel academically in their current grade level, and pave the way for future successes in secondary and post-secondary education. The activities are designed to enhance the critical thinking skills of the students and to engage them in the scientific process.Try-Math-A-Lon is a tutoring program meant to foster good study habits for at-risk Black students, help prepare forstandardized test exams such as the ACT and SAT, promote competition and good sportsmanship. The TMAL competition is held between teams composed of high school students in grades 9-12. The purpose of the competition is to help groom TMAL team members for success in STEM courses and prepare them for standardized SAT/ACT testing.Page 3 Friday 8:00PM-9:30PM PCI Dinner 8:15PM-9:30 PM Try-Math-a-lon Testing 9:30PM-11:30PM PCI Game and Movie Night Saturday7:30AM-8:30AM PCI Breakfast8:30AM-9:00AM Depart For Campus9:15AM-10:00AM Opening Session10:00AM-11:00AM Campus Tour10:00AM-10:50AM Hidden Alarm10:00AM-10:50AM Getting Money for College10:00PM-12:00PM Kid Zone (3rd or 5th grade)10:00AM-12:00PM Try-Math-a-lon Quiz Bowl Download Full VersionHERE11:00 AM-12:00PM Dance Pad Mania11:00AM-12:00PM Preparing for College11:00PM-12:00PM Timeline and College preperation 12:00PM-1:00PM Lunch 1:00PM-1:50PM Why College?1:00PM-1:50PM Changes in UC and CSU school systems?1:00PM-1:50PM Campus Tour1:00PM-1:50PM Kinetic Sculpture 2:00PM-2:50PM Calling all Leaders, What can i do?,2:00PM-3:30PM Kaliedoscop project, build your own calculator. 2:00PM-3:30PM Engineering Design Design3:30PM-4:00PM Mini Closing Session 4:00PM-4:30PM Return to Hotel9:00PM-11:30PM PCI Party Sunday7:00AM-9:30AM Breakfast 9:30AM-10:30AM Closing Session10:30AM-12:00PM Check Out Page 4Danielle ReivereDanielle is a graduating senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering.
