Reply-To: art@higp.hawaii.edu

You and your family and friends are invited to join us at Engineering Week
at Kahala Mall beginning  with displays the week of February 15,
culminated with the February 21 (Saturday) Science Demonstrations and VEX
Robotics Competition/Tournament.

Future Flight Hawaii’s Dale Olive (Waiakea High School) and Roger Kwok
(Leeward Community College) will feature 25 minute science demonstrations
in their fun and exciting way, along with 12 teams from 7 middle and high
schools participating in a VEX Robotics Tournament.  Sponsored by the
Hawaii Society of Engineering Societies, this annual event, is a national
celebration of engineers and engineering (http://www.eweek.org/Home.aspx).
Dale will also be showcasing their robotics program’s newest
activity….toothbrush robots.

Schools participating in the VEX tournament are: Kalani High School,
McKinley High School, Campbell High School, Kaiser High School, Highlands
Middle School, Wahiawa Middle School, Moanalua High School.  Winners of
the tournament will qualify for the VEX World Championships in Dallas in
April.  These are among the 40 schools in Hawaii that participate in VEX
robotics
(http://robotics.hawaii.gov/vex/pan-pacific-vex-robotics-championship).

Schedule: February 21, Saturday (Kahala Mall stage area)
9:00 – 10:00 a.m.: VEX field open for practice
10:00-10:30 a.m.: Science Demonstrations by Dale Olive, Waiakea High,

Join us for the only live downlink from the space shuttle, Discovery,
during mission, STS 119
(http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts119/index.html).
Among the crew members are two middle school math and science teachers,
Ricky Arnold and Joe Acaba; Joe was the keynote speaker at the Astronaut
Lacy Veach Day of Discovery, October 2006.  Ricky, Joe and Sandra Magnus
(flight engineer, International Space Station) will host a 20 minute live
video and audio downlink from the space shuttle, 12 days after launch
(current launch scheduled no earlier than February 22 with downlink at
approximately 3:15 p.m., March 6th.  The downlink can be viewed on cable
channel 56 or NASA TV (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/).  Up to 20
students from Hawaii will be asking questions of the astronauts. The
specific downlink date and time will be set when the shuttle launch is
confirmed.

Join us at the 2nd annual FIRST Robotics Competition taking place March
27-28, 2009, Stan Sheriff Center; 33 teams from Hawii, the Philippines,
Mexico, and the US Mainland will be competing in a game called Lunacy
(http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=418).  The
tournament is open to the public.

Join us at the 6th annual Botball robotics competition taking place May 2,
2009, Hawaii Convention Center, exhibit hall I (10 a.m.-4:00 p.m.). Forty
two teams representing 39 middle and high schools are competing in a new
challenge in which robots autonomously will be collecting energy devices
to score as many points as possible in the two minute matches.  The Hawaii
Botball program is currently the largest in the United States
(www.botball.org).
