Questions:
Workshop staff and coordinators are wearing badges with pins on them -- please don't hesitate to ask questions. We would like to make this workshop as rewarding and enjoyable as possible, and we would like you to feel comfortable today at JPL. When You Arrive: If you arrive by 7:30 and wish to visit the ERC souvenir store, you should meet the ERC escort, at the yellow sign at 7:45 and 8:00. If you are unable to arrive in time to visit the ERC in the a.m. there will be another opportunity at the conclusion of the Workshop. The workshop will begin promptly at 8:30, so you should be seated in the auditorium no later than 8:15. Lunch (11:15-12:45): If you brought your lunch with you, feel free to eat it either outside or in the cafeteria. If you plan to purchase your lunch, we encourage you to head to the cafeteria right away as the lines tend to become very crowded during the noon hour. Inside the cafeteria, you can find grilled items, prepared salads, and a sandwich bar to the right; to the left are entrees and Mexican foods along with a salad bar, soup, and frozen yogurt. You will also have the opportunity to participate in the following activities during lunch: Tour of SFOF: The Spacecraft Flight and Operations Facility. Learn about mission operations and find out how we keep track of our spacecraft! Tours will depart from the green sign shortly after 11:30 and 12:00 and are limited to 60 people each. Welcome to Outer Space: This exciting video presentation takes you on JPL’s journey through the solar system with an overview of its many missions and projects. It will be shown in the Von Karman auditorium at 12:00. Summary of lunchtime activities:

Classroom Bridging Session: From 5:30-7:30 p.m., special discussion and brainstorming groups will consider how to bring the topics presented in this Workshop into the classroom. If you have not pre-registered, you’re still welcome to attend. |
