Hooray! I've broken the language barrier. Finally, a member of the
college's language department (or perhaps she's in the International
Studies Department) responded and it was an affirmative answer!
This Friday, they are sponsoring a "fair" for those planning on or
interested in studying abroad. First they agreed to provide some copies
of my college page materials on the SI and to have some computers there
for people to see the pages "live". Now, they've agreed to give me
half a table for a display also. ("Table" is not a standard unit; I have
no idea how big this thing will be.)
I'll not only be there to answer questions (for 2.5 h) but I'll have
some posters there as well (they haven't heard that part yet) and
perhaps some handouts. Of course, this being a college event, I have to
keep it non-commercial.
I wish I had more notice of this so that I could have arranged to get
some supplies here at my house by Thursday. But anything I do have on
hand relating to the SI is fair game, as far as I am concerned. I'll
probably make up a survival crib sheet for travelers, for one thing.
And I've got a decent supply of NIST conversion cards in wallet size.
Any ideas out there? My back-of-the-envelope estimate is that there
will be ~100 people showing up. How do you say "Metric go braugh!"?
