Chief Delphi - Scientists and Roboteers Unite!

What do volcanos, chemistry, food, counterfeiting, waves and DNA have in common with FIRST robotics?

Science and Career Day at MARM 2005

Sunday, May 22nd, 2005
Rutgers University Busch Campus, New Brunswick, NJ

Come celebrate the 100th anniversary of the New Jersey Science Teachers Association
with your friends in FIRST who will be

Running demonstration matches in the Busch Campus Center
and
Explaining FIRST to everyone in the Science & Engineering Resource Center:

Raider Robotix
RoBBe Xtreme
Rancocas Valley Robotics
Cybersonics Technology Team
Rage
Miracle Workerz
Team Lionheart
Falcon Robotics

And that other stuff about volcanos, waves and so on?
There are going to be a bunch of great talks, aimed at high school students and educators, like:

Kathryn Uhrich will speak about a potential new drug, polyaspirin, which she and her students discovered;

Gene Hall will teach us how to distinguish real from counterfeit articles, be they banknotes or diamonds;

Norman Zabusky will link art, science and engineering in a discussion of the "Motion of matter and waves." - A must-see for anyone interested in engineering!

Bill Sofer will lead us down the DNA trail with a talk about "100 Years of Genetics"; and

Greg Mountain will help us glimpse the Earth beneath the sea in a talk about the seascape.

Enough listening to talks?

See The IMAX video "Volcanoes of the Deep", with commentary from Rich Lutz, the science advisor for the film; or

The Chemistry Wizard Show and Spectacular Physics Show will demonstrate principles in these areas.

Admission is Free - yes, you read right - Free*
