[AG-USERS] Dec 18, Rochester HS Visit

[Keith Simmons]

Greetings,

The Dec 18th HS visit looks certain; the students have taken home  
their permission slips.  The entire visit to our lab will occur in  
the 9-11am EST timeframe.  We will use the "Rochester Institute of  
Technology" Venue located at:

https://vv3.mcs.anl.gov:8000/Venues/8cdd226521d429b68e7e8c0158a6a663

Vic, thanks for the introductions.  We hope the Denver School of  
Science and Technology can make it as well as others who are  
capable.  Anyone who can drop in will be greatly appreciated.

To the folks at TRECC, NCSA, and other locations who might be able to  
give a demo, this will be a real chance to inspire our local High  
Schoolers to get involved in STEM and collaboration.

Please feel free to call me at (585) 217-6425 to work out details.

Once again, the students are in grades 9-12 studying imagine and  
information technology:
