At today’s meeting, we gave the orientation presentation to a few more members.

We split up into two groups. The workshop group, led by Preetum and Dennis, talked about ideas for both the lightbulb project and the elephant project, as well as more project ideas.

The business development group discussed possible ways to start fundraising, and presenting our mission clearly to outsiders.

StudentRND will have a meeting at the Redmond Library on 5/31 from 3-5PM.

New Members:

Meet in Redmond Library’s Conference Room at 3:00 sharp. This is the far conference room near the street entrance of the Redmond library (opposite to the parking lot). We’ll have a 30 minute overview of what StudentRND plans to do over the summer. Your parents are welcome to join in. Afterwards, anyone interested in the workshop program will join the returning members inside the main library, while people interested in community relations or business development will stay in the conference room.

Returning Members:

Meet inside Redmond Library at 3:00 sharp. You’ll need to find Dennis Liao or Preetum. We’ll discuss the two starting projects (the elephant and the smart light projects) and get to work researching for them. Preetum will lead the smart lightbulb project while Dennis leads the elephant project.

Students Interested in Leadership:

Stay after the meeting until 6:00PM. We’ll meet inside the library and discuss leadership. You’ll have to be a highly committed member to become a part of leadership. If you have a vacation or something for a period of time over the summer, that will not disqualify you from joining leadership.

At today’s meeting, we presented an Overview of Student Research and Development (pdf).

Afterwards, we discussed what we would like to do. Some projects were mentioned including:

• Building a Smart Lightbulb
• Designing a Technological way to educate the public about Elephants
• Water Quality Testing?
• Building a WAN in Woodinville
• Teach High Schoolers Vex
• Go on Field Trips

We also decided on a meeting from 3-5PM at the Redmond Library on the 31st of May. In June, we would have meetings from 1-6PM each Sunday.

In the meantime, sign up for the Projects website and start discussing ideas. Next meeting, bring some project ideas, and fundraising ideas.

StudentRND will have a meeting for anyone interested in joining over the summer. It will be hosted in the Redmond Regional library from 3-5PM on Sunday, May 17.

Parents are invited as well.
