NHTechfest 2011

[Dantvman27]

Hello everyone!

I am here to announce New Hampshire TechFest is back for our third year and will be bigger and better than ever! For those of you that don't know about NHTechFest, feel free to check out last year's promotional video,produced by yours truly, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWkm0...layer_embedded

Or just check out our website: http://www.nhtechfest.org/default.htm

We had a fantastic turnout at last year's event, with over 800 spectators in our second year, which is an increase of 200 people from our inaugural event. We will once again be free and open to the public on October 15th at Windham High School in Windham, NH, and I believe (and could be wrong) that we will once again be the official satellite event for the USA Science and Engineering Festival for all of New England.



We are currently looking for several things: Exhibits, FRC robots, and Trebuchet competitors!

Exhibitors: We are looking for companies and organizations who would be willing to either conduct hands-on activities, or provide a presentation, demonstration, or lecture. In addition to booths and demonstration areas in the gymnasium and lobby areas, we will also have use of at least one outdoor athletic field, as well as a fully-equipped, state-of-the-art 500+ seat auditorium.

FRC Robots: In the past we have set up a reduced field for teams to do demonstrations on, we also encourage that teams let general members of the public drive their robot, but it is not required. We also ask that your team help promote FIRST by talking to the spectators about FIRST as a whole.

Trebuchet competitors: Our main event for the afternoon! This is a great, beginning of the school year engineering project to teach principle of engineering. The contest is designed to encourage teams to build consistent, accurate apple tossing gravity powered catapults primarily made of wood. The rules will be modified ever so slightly so that a team cannot bring their entry from last year.


This event is not just limited to New Hampshire, as we would like to invite people from all over New England(heck, lets make open the invite to people all over the world) to attend!

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in any of these, OR just volunteering for the day, please contact us at contact-us@nhtechfest.org
Questions can be emailed to me at dantvman27@yahoo.com or can be fielded here.


Thank You!
