May 30: Maryland's Place in Space

[RoboMom]

Maryland's Place in Space - NASA

This event is being held at the Baltimore Convention Center Saturday May 30 and is free and open to the public. http://mdplaceinspace.jhuapl.edu/

Goddard will be featuring a modified FIRST Lunacy field and pit set ups for teams for this Demo Day event.

We are hoping to recruit 40 Student Ambassadors. There will be two types of Student Ambassadors. All Student Ambassadors will wear their team uniform and will receive official FIRST badges. Students may sign up to be Ambassadors even if their team is not signed up to participate.

1. NASA has asked us to provide FIRST Student Ambassadors to help with the many hands-on activities they will be featuring at this event for students, including Passport Stations at various locations. NASA reps will train these Ambassadors. These Ambassadors could be either middle or high school students. Community Service hours could be awarded if arrangement are made in advance with me.

2. There will also be Student Ambassadors to interact with the public/VIPs and explain FIRST and especially the FIRST Robotics Competition. These Ambassadors will receive advance training materials and will have a brief training before the event opens to the public. There will be no Community Service hours awarded for this role.

Please have interested students email me with their name, their team affiliation, their email address and their preference as either a "Passport Ambassador" or a "FRC Ambassador." More details will be sent to Ambassadors who sign up.

Thanks and email me any questions you may have. Questions about team participation, other volunteer roles and the overall event will be forwarded on to the organizers.
