2008 Micron Student Outreach Program Schedule
for non-University of Idaho students

Thursday
5:30-7:00 p.m.	Welcome Dinner and Host Meet-up What better way to kick-off EXPO Innovations than with a Fiesta! Mix and mingle with College of Engineering faculty and students and enjoy a fajita feast. For those of you staying on campus, this is your chance to meet up with your student host for the night. Hosts are current UI students living in Theophilus Tower, Wallace Residence Center, and the Living Learning Community. Because your host has a very busy schedule, you most likely will not be able to meet up with them prior to this time. We will have a room set aside for you to store your belongings during the day. You will also have to arrange with your host a time to pick up your belongings on Friday. Storage will be available if there is not a convenient time to meet up with your host in the afternoon. All hosts will be pre-assigned, so if you have special requests please let us know ahead of time.
7:00-9:00 p.m.	Find Where the Wind Goes Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African American Woman in Space, inspires and encourages audiences as she shares the achievements and obstacles presented in her own life, always bringing a sense of humor to each story she tells. Plan to stick around after the presentation for a meet and greet session with Dr. Jemison.
9:00-10:30 p.m.	EXPO Games and Ice-Cream Social Our engineering students are excited to welcome you to campus. Join them in the LLC's for ice cream sundaes and exciting twists to familiar games: Sudoku Master Do you Sudoku? Do you think you have what it takes to be the Sudoku Master of Idaho?

9:00-11:00 a.m.	Tour Exhibition Hall Much more than a science fair, the University of Idaho Engineering Design EXPO is the Pacific Northwest's largest interdisciplinary engineering showcase demonstrating the global impacts of our research. Each of our engineering graduates participate in a senior capstone design course before they head to graduate school or the workforce. In place of a traditional final examination, Idaho students are challenged to tackle real world issues with the help of industry partners. We are so excited that you get to see the incredible projects our students will be presenting. Ask questions, and be inspired to find your own solutions to the world's engineering challenges.
9:00-12:00 p.m.	Engineering Film Festival Engineering is a broad subject that plays a dynamic part in every aspect of our lives. The Engineering Film Festival is a cinematic tribute to a discipline that has starred nearly every modern convenience we enjoy today!
10:00-12:00 p.m.	Workshops Students and teachers have the exciting opportunity to attend two hands-on workshops during Engineering Design EXPO. Topics are specially designed to let you explore more innovations in the four theme areas of the Engineering Design EXPO: Transportation and Technology, Energy and Electronics, Space Exploration and Beyond, and Land and Water Resources.
12:00-1:00 p.m.	Lunch - Bring your own or box lunch
2:00-5:00 p.m.	Robotics Competition Like most Idaho students, Robo-Vandal has a busy schedule.

Each robotic student will be given an "itinerary" of tasks he must complete before heading to the Kibbie Dome to watch the big game!
