I'd like to invite you to consider running a booth and promoting your organization at the event. You could have an activity, do a demo, have some items for show and tell, or just hand out fliers that could appeal to kids and/or adults. And it's all free.<br>> <br>> Excited yet? Keep reading.<br>> <br>> Los Angeles FIRST Tech Challenge Regional Championship<br>> Sat. Feb. 14<br>> 10am to 4pm (setup available from 7am to 6pm)<br>> Monrovia High School<br>> 845 West Colorado Boulevard,<br>> Monrovia, CA 91016<br>> Venue is outdoor.<br>> <br>> Audience:<br>> Parents and siblings of the robotics participants (all ages of kids, and adults). In general, people who have a positive view of making stuff and tinkering.<br>> We expect 300-400 people at the event.<br>> <br>> Provided:<br>> Any tables, chairs, tents, and power you need. Let us know about particular requests.<br>> <br>> Activity:<br>> Ideally we'd love if everyone could host an an activity that people could participate in. In many cases this isn't realistic. Just note that more attention will go to participation events than fliers.<br>> Be creative, and make it creative. We'd love to see what you come up with. Again it could be an activity, a demo, show & tell, fliers, or something completely different.<br>> The activity has to be free to the audience.<br>> <br>> Cost:<br>> FREE! We want you to come. There is no cost to host a booth.<br>> Any activity you host must be free to participate in. (You'll have to provide materials and any safety gear for your activity)<br>> <br>> <br>> Thinking you might want to come any play?<br>> Email me (Deb) at <a ymailto="mailto:aerosquirrel@gmail.com" href="mailto:aerosquirrel@gmail.com">aerosquirrel@gmail.com</a> with the following info: <br>> • Your Name<br>> • Your Organization's Name<br>> • Contact info for you (or the person who will be organizing your booth)<br>> • Potential Activity Ideas (so we don't end up with 4 different places to learn to solder).<br>> • RSVP: I will be there, or Maybe<br>> • Age range for your activities.<br>> • Roughly how many tables/chairs/space you'd like (we'll refine details later).<br>> <br>> <br>> Thanks.<br>> <br>> Deborah Sigel<br>> Booth Organizer, LA FTC Regional Championship<br>> Organizer, Kids Building Things<br>> <br>> <a ymailto="mailto:aerosquirrel@gmail.com" href="mailto:aerosquirrel@gmail.com">aerosquirrel@gmail.com</a><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> --<br>> This message was sent by James (<a ymailto="mailto:mcduffie@pitfall.org" href="mailto:mcduffie@pitfall.org">mcduffie@pitfall.org</a>) from San Gabriel Valley Tech People.<br>> To learn more about James, visit his/her member profile<br>> To report this message or block the sender, please click here<br>> To unsubscribe from special announcements from your Organizer(s), click here <br>> <br>> Meetup, POB 4668 #37895 NY NY USA 10163 | <a ymailto="mailto:support@meetup.com" href="mailto:support@meetup.com">support@meetup.com</a> <br><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
