<DIV dir=ltr align=left>Greetings, friends – <o:p></o:p></DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The Oregon University System and Johns Hopkins University’s
Center For Talented Youth are collaborating to bring a day of hands-on robotics
to the PSU campus on Saturday, April 4, 2009 (the day after the Northwest
Science Expo) from 9:00 – 4:00. Faculty and students from OSU, PSU, and EOU as
well as experts from industry will be on hand to lead small-group sessions. The
content and pace will be targeted towards high-achieving students. Students are
not required to be members of the Center for Talented Youth (CTY) to attend;
students must be accompanied by an adult.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please see the attached flyer for more information and links,
including the link to register with Johns Hopkins. Please circulate this
information with anyone who might be interested. Registration closes 2:00 pm
Pacific (5:00 Eastern) on Monday, <SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">March</SPAN> 30.
Please contact Johns Hopkins via web or phone to register.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There are a few slots for reaching out to underserved
students for whom the cost is a barrier; please contact Jo Oshiro directly via
<A href="mailto:jo_oshiro@ous.edu">jo_oshiro@ous.edu</A> or 503.821.1139 if you
have a candidate for those slots, whether or not that student is formally
identified as TAG as long as a teacher or other educator feels they are ready to
work at a higher level.<o:p></o:p></P>
