Topic #1 --The directory of finalists for ISEF2000 is now available at: http://www.sciserv.org/isef/finaldir.pdf There are finalists from all U.S. states and over 40 nations. I did a brief search for MICHIGAN and a few schools represented are: Renaissance HS Saginaw Arts & Science Academy Western High School Redford HS It is easy to find finalists near your location. If you know any finalists, teachers, parents or others who might be interested I will present the annual Shop Talk titled: "Combining the Power of Statistics and Computers to Enhance Science Fair Projects" at 9:00-10:00 a.m. on Monday, May 8, 2000 in Cobo Hall Room O2-41. The purpose of this session is to provide guidance to Science Fair students, teachers and others to help them acquire statistics advice and suggest kinds of questions they might ask their statistical advisors. As you can guess, I will encourage the participants to get assistance from those who can teach them to create the models needed to answer their, possibly unique, questions of interest. You can tell your friends that there will be some valuable drawing prizes for those who get there early and stay 'til the end. This year, none of the students with whom I advised in their data-analysis made it to ISEF2000. ---sigh :-( ========== Topic #2 -- We have decided to open our Summer Workshop, emphasizing the Power of Statistics and Computers in Science Research, to a select few folks who may want to attend FROM OUTSIDE THE SAN ANTONIO REGION. The application form with detailed information can be seen at the web site shown below. This may be of interest to those who work with student research projects and those AP-Statistics teachers who have some extra school time AFTER THE MAY AP-EXAM to introduce their students to some additional data-analysis ideas. http://www.ijoa.org/joeward/wardindex.html The dates are May 29 - June 9. If a participant can stay for only the first week, that's OK. Those who may be interested can call me to discuss details. --- Joe ************************************************************************ * Joe Ward Health Careers High School * * 167 East Arrowhead Dr 4646 Hamilton Wolfe * * San Antonio, TX 78228-2402 San Antonio, TX 78229 * * Phone: 210-433-6575 Phone: 210-617-5400 * * Fax: 210-433-2828 Fax: 210-617-5423 * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * http://www.ijoa.org/joeward/wardindex.html * ************************************************************************ =========================================================================== This list is open to everyone.
