Last night after the Greece NTO Day, I also participated in the Gates Chili Evening of Career Exploration. What an event! The event was HUGE, with a refreshments table, a jazz band, and National Honor Society student helpers all over the place. My presentation was during the first half of the night in one of the science classrooms. I decided to take along the FLIR to play with at the end since I had already had it earlier that day, though there ended up not really being enough time. Even so, the presentation went well and although I didn't draw a large crowd, my audience seemed to be made up of some great people. I had some really nice conversations with one gentleman and his 8th grade daughter, who were very nice and already quite knowledgeable on imaging science subjects; so I hope they keep in touch and come out for a tour of RIT some day. It also turns out that I presented to the husband and son of a coworker from over in the College of Science Dean's office, which was a funny coincidence. All in all, another great event - one that was probably the most impressive and well organized career night I've ever been a part of. (It doesn't hurt that Gates Chili has a beautiful high school, whoa!) Oh, and, bonus! They gave me a coffee mug as a thank you:
