[IMC] Call for Exhibits: Family Science Day and Bot Brawl 2014

[McCubbins, Sara]

Family Science Day and Bot Brawl 2014 are coming!

This year's event will take place on Saturday, April 5th, 2014 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Redbird Arena, Normal, IL.

What is Family Science Day?  Family Science Day is a public outreach event to inspire and educate preK-8 students in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.  This family-friendly event encourages scientific discovery through hands-on activities, challenges, and demonstrations while providing the opportunity to learn about scientific careers from actual research scientists and science educators.  In addition, the event helps to raise awareness of the importance of STEM in our society.

What is Bot Brawl? Family Science Day is happy to be the venue again for the Central Illinois Robotics Club (CIRC) Bot Brawl Tournament.  This robotics tournament is one of the largest hobby robotics competitions in the country and includes RC combat, sumo robotics, autonomous line following, and more.

Sounds cool...How can I participate?  We are currently seeking EXHIBITORS.  Please find attached an exhibitor packet with more details.  Registration can be completed online at www.familyscienceday.com<http://www.familyscienceday.com>.  The best part is, exhibiting is FREE!  We have limited space, so exhibits will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

This year's theme for Family Science Day is "The Maker."  See the attached flyer for more information about The Maker Movement.  While we encourage you to incorporate the theme into your activities, your booth does not have to fit into this theme in order to exhibit.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Also, feel free to share this packet with others who might be interested in participating!

Hope to hear from you soon.
