Techstravaganza
Attention women alumni working in science and technology: volunteers needed!

Event: Annual Techstravaganza at TJHSST, Saturday April 1, 1-4 p.m.

This event is organized by three all-girls clubs from TJ to promote science and technology fields and careers among middle school girls. This fun filled afternoon is focused on hands-on experience.

Various tables and demo stations are set up in the main gym. At each table, there is an activity/learning experience/opportunity to talk with TJ students and women working in various fields related to science and technology. Middle school girls (grade 5 -7) attend and can talk to TJ students and women about what type of work they do, their education, etc. Girls will be asked to conduct multiple short interviews and hands-on experiments and will get small prize as they complete a path through the gym.

Women alumni are encouraged to attend the event to be part of the Women in Technology/Girls in Technology (WIT/GIT) booth. Feel free to bring any visual aids or demonstration tools that will help describe how you use science and technology in your work.

We are also looking for any number of small items that your company could donate to be used as prizes (pens with corporate logo, key chains, puzzles, anything!).

If your company could sponsor any larger items (like digital camera, CD player, etc.) for the raffle, your company logo would be prominently displayed at the WIT/GIT table and your company would be publicly thanked.

Location: Main gym of Thomas Jefferson HS for Science and Technology, 6560 Braddock Rd., Alexandria, VA 22312 Date: Saturday, April 1st, 2006 Time: 1 - 4 pm Duration: We need volunteers for hour-long segments and the entire afternoon. Come whenever you can!

If you are interesting in participation or can donate any items please send an email to Dana Hamerschlag '94.
