MEMORANDUM FOR: ALL UNITS NER
FROM: NER/XP
SUBJECT: 2005 NER Conference, Aerospace Display Competition
1. The theme is "New Connections" hands on, educational, aerospace
activity. Ideally any other unit could take the activity and easily and
inexpensively reproduce the activity as a fun and educational EXTERNAL AE
activity.
2. Below are some additional criteria.
a. It may be an activity/activities, game(s), puzzle(s), etc. that
requires the user/participant to do more than read and/or take a test.
b. It will be educational about one or more aerospace topics.
c. It must be reproducible by the average unit. You may choose to
provide directions, instructions, handouts, disks with material on them,
etc.
d. It will cost less than $20.00 to recreate and do. That could include
disks, handouts, giveaways, material you are selling/providing.
e. You must be able to provide a complete set of directions for
reproducing the activity, rules for running the activity, or other
helpful information.
f. It will be demonstrated at the conference. It will be demonstrated
on the display table top (5 or 6 ft standard table) or if standalone no
more than 7 ft tall and no greater footprint area than 6 ft x 4ft. You
may also demonstrate the activity outside if you tell us where to find
you.
g. It will require two members or more to demonstrate.
h. The project should clearly identify the target audience and how you
know this is information they want/need. For example: Boy Scouts working
on their Aerospace Merit Badge or Boy Scouts working on their Emergency
Preparedness Badge (both of which are real possibilities) or Junior High
science class. The source of information may be merit badge requirement
books, or state standards for education or school curriculum or Mrs.
Smith the science teacher at your school.
i. Materials should be primarily developed and constructed by cadets.
i. The more fun the better.
