> Hi Paul,
> Do you think you could put the following announcement in the Pinhole digest.
> Perhaps some of the local teachers might be interested in attending the
> upcoming National Educators' Workshop, to be held October 13 - 16, 2002 here
> in the San Jose area. The Tuesday session is particularly interesting for
> school teachers. It will have hands-on experiments of the state-of-the-art
> science at IBM. ( See paragraph "School Teachers" below.) and they can hear
> your talk at dinner!
>
> If you could spread the word out, I would greatly appreciate it.

> Take care,

> Dear Educator and Colleague:

> I would like to draw your attention to the upcoming National Educators'
> Workshop, to be held October 13 - 16, 2002 here in the San Jose area.
>
> This Workshop provides a meeting ground for those who teach in the areas
> of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering. Attendees hear
> exciting presentations about selected frontier research topics, exchange
> ideas for new course materials and class/lab demonstrations, and
> participate in tours of leading industrial and university research labs (
> including hands-on demos.).
>
> It offers a very enjoyable opportunity to refresh your technical horizons,
> and to network with your colleagues from all over the U.S. who share your
> dedication to effective teaching in these fields. Now in its 17th year,
> this annual Workshop is recognized for high standards, appropriate for
> formal credit among your teaching credentials.
>
> Details of this year's Program may be found at
> http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/cme/NEW . Do check this web site!
>
> The whole diverse program is listed in the file that I attach here.
> Participants will enjoy presentations, tutorials, lab tours, hands-on
> demos, mini-workshops, and hospitality at San Jose State University,
> Seagate, Lockheed Martin, IBM Almaden Research Center, Semi, and Ultratech
> Stepper.
> Topics will include : science and materials frontiers for the magnetic
> disk drive industry; solar cell workshop; space sciences and satellite
> engineering; polymer synthesis; carbon nanotubes; spin-tronics, OLED
> displays; holographic storage; single-atom manipulation (hands-on!). And
> much more.
>
> The Workshop Dinner speaker on October 15 will be Paul Doherty, Director
> of Teacher Institutes, The Exploratorium of San Francisco, whose talk ,
> titled "Exploring Science with Simple Materials", will center on handout
> demo materials for us all to have fun at the dinner table (!)
>
> I urge you to join us for this festival of science/engineering education !
> Registration details are on the web site.

> SCHOOL TEACHERS
>
> In the past, most Workshop participants have been from Chem./Phys./
> Engineering Departments at predominantly non-research universities and
> colleges, together with a number of high school teachers. We believe that
> this year's Workshop has especially much to offer in terms of novelty,
> support and inspiration for secondary school teachers, and we especially
> invite your participation.
>
> In particular, Tuesday October 15, at IBM Almaden Research Center,
> includes a famous presentation by Jean-Paul Jacob "Informatics: The Future
> is Not What It Used To Be"; short tutorial updates by research pioneers
> on eight "Hot Topics" of research; a live demo of manipulation of single
> atoms on surfaces, by Don Eigler, using his famous cryogenic STM (
> followed by your personal chance to push some atoms around!); tours of
> materials characterization labs; a review of programs offering
> opportunities for cooperative research experiences for teachers and
> students. Then in the evening, the Dinner and Paul Doherty's lively
> demo-presentation.
>
> We have set up a special reduced Registration of $100 for teachers who
> wish to attend only on that day (including lunch and the Dinner), and we
> hope that this will make it possible for you to participate in this
> special Day at least.
>
>
> Please don't hesitate to contact me for further info about the Workshop
> and its program and goals. It's not too late to register. If you would
> like to present a poster on your work, it can still be added to the
> agenda, if you contact me before October 7. On-site registration is
> acceptable. However, to help our planning, please let us know your plans
> by October 7, if at all possible.

> May I look forward to seeing you at NEW:2002 ?
