Charged Magazine Meeting 1/22

- Are you tired of all of the trivial junk out there on there internet?
- Do you wish that scientists, engineers and mathematicians explained what they studied in a way you actually WANTED to read?
- Do you love science, technology, engineering and math but are also a creative person who likes to think about music, entertainment, politics, fashion, literature or art?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions and want to be a part of a creative science writing community, read on....

CHARGED (www.chargedmagazine.org) is an "anything goes" online magazine about how science and studying science (and math and engineering) affects people. We are currently looking for volunteer students, faculty, and (and non-GT people!) from ALL MAJORS AND DEPARTMENTS who want to contribute to writing, editing, promoting and maintaining this site.  Articles and posts can be about anything related to science, math and engineering as long as they are NOT BORING.  If you are ready to to contribute to an edgy, irreverent version of what makes all Techies tick, come to the organizational meeting

Worthwhile Volunteering Opportunities

FACULTY, STAFF, and UNDERGADUATE, and GRADUATE STUDENT VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED FOR THE EVENTS LISTED BELOW.   

(1)   The Science Olympiad Regional Competition for high school students will be held at Georgia Tech on Saturday, February 21st.  CEISMC is sponsoring this event. Twelve teams, comprised of 15 students per team, from the metro Atlanta area have registered to participate in the competition.  Winners will progress to the state competition to be held at Emory University in March. We need volunteers to serve as Event Supervisors to conduct one of the 23 featured events (see the attached document that lists the activities by clusters).  Please note that the general categories of events are paper and pencil tests, inquiry activities that may involve rotating stations, and testing of devices that the teams have previously constructed and bring to the competition.  Event supervisors must be thoroughly familiar with the rules/guidelines that govern their respective events, and in some cases must generate test questions or activities, or the apparatus to test devices. The time commitment on the day of the competition would range from ~2-5 hours, depending on whether your event is offered more than once.  Competition will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at  2:00 p.m., with an awards ceremony scheduled for 3:30 p.m.  Please contact Gustavia Evans at gustavia.evans@ceismc.gatech.edu for additional information.

Undergraduate Research Opportunity

Hi Undergraduates, 

I'm Enbo Zhao, a graduate student from Dr. Gleb Yushin's group in the MSE department. I'm looking for undergraduate assistants who're interested in energy storage and battery research. 

Our group focus on electrochemistry-related nano-structured materials. I'm currently working on supercapacitors based on nano-carbon/metal oxides electrode materials. We will start from synthesizing electrode materials and proceed to electrochemical tests then. Therefore, the students will basically gain the skill of how to assemble electric devices from the very initial materials in our group. You will also receive 3 credits/semester (weekly working hour must be more than 9 hours) (credits are of MSE 2699/4699, not CHEM ones) letter-graded by Dr. Yushin based on your performance in lab. I am looking for students that are conscientious, hard-working, curious and aggressive. Their GPAs are expected to be no less than 3.5, but not absolutely. After all, a lab is the place to practice theories from books. Dr. Yushin is very nice and smart and our group will be a great place to enrich your experiences. Please email me your resume if  interested in the opportunity

(ckim77@gatech.edu) the times that you can tutor, the subject and
place, and your transportation situation (car or no car). If you do
have a car, let me know if you are comfortable with carpooling with
others. We should be starting tutorials on the week of January 23 so
please send in your information ASAP.


Children's Restoration Network (CRN) is a new program that focuses on
tutoring and mentoring homeless children living in shelters in the
Atlanta area. This program offers a lot of benefits for volunteers, such as:

1. Great experience: It's a wonderful opportunity for tutors/mentors to
interact with a wide age range of students. Volunteers build strong
relationships with their students and become a positive role model for
a child just by spending time with them.
2. Flexible schedule: Volunteers may choose the dates and times at
which they would like tutor, and volunteers are only required to
tutor/mentor once a week for 1.5 hours. In addition, volunteers can
choose a certain age range to tutor as well as whether they would
prefer one-on-one or small group tutoring.
3. Easy access: There are a few shelters within walking distance of
Tech, so transportation would not be required for volunteers who choose
those locations.

This program is a great way to give back to the community and to make a
huge difference in one child's life just by showing up once a week and
showing them that someone cares about their well-being!
For more info or to sign up, visit
http://move.gatech.edu/tutoring/crn.php

Ripple Effect

Are you interested in leadership opportunities or working with a creative, international HIV Prevention organization? Come to the first general meeting of Ripple Effect on Monday, October 10th at 6 PM in the Student Center Theater (across from Pizza Hut)! Food and refreshments will be provided!

Ripple Effect is an organization based on the simple premise that our collective creativity and initiative is the first step in preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS. We hope that our grassroots campaign ripples across communities, borders, and generations to stop the transmission of HIV and AIDS. Our vision is to prevent the spread of HIV through empowering youth and community leaders to become peer educators within their communities.

Our concept is very simple: to spread HIV prevention awareness by taking the pledge to promote HIV activism among others (resembling the Pay It Forward system). If one person tells 5 other people about HIV transmission and prevention, and those 5 people tell 5 others then we can end what started as a ripple, with a ripple. Each person can take the pledge, the way he/she wants (whether it's through sponsoring an HIV Orphan or through changing his/her facebook status for a week). We hope by instilling this culture of activism, we can create a Ripple Effect. During the past year, we have done creative events to spread HIV awareness; these events included coordinating a Flash Mob and setting up a banner that spelled the word AIDS with 500 condoms.

We would love for you to come to our meeting to learn more about the organization. We are looking for dedicated and motivated individuals for leadership positions, as well as anyone who wants to make an impact in a fun, creative way.

We look forward to seeing you at the first meeting and working with you in the future! Be sure to RSVP at event page on facebook:


What: Ripple Effect General Info Session
When: 6 PM on October 10, 2011
Where: Student Center Theater
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=294420620572079

Refreshments will be provided!
