SCIENCE & TECH STUDENTS ARE INVITED!
FIRE NSBE Jr. Kickoff: September 10, 2011 12:30pm





To All Math Science & Technology Educators, Advocates, Parents and Students:

Greetings on behalf of the Future Innovative Rising Engineers (FIRE) National 
Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) Jr. Chapter!

We invite you and your students to attend the 2011-2012 Kickoff Chapter Meeting 
that will be held on

Saturday, September 10, 2011, 12:30-2:30pm
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor's Center in Greenbelt, MD.

The FIRE NSBE Jr. Chapter was founded by the NSBE Alumni Extension Greenbelt 
Space Chapter (GSC) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in 2007 to further 
the NSBE Mission:

 "To increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers who excel 
academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community".

The overall goal of FIRE NSBE Jr. is to help prepare NSBE Jr. Students for 
college and ultimately a technical career.  Through strategically developed 
activities culminating in engineering competitions, NSBE GSC engineers have 
helped FIRE NSBE Jr. students become intellectually stimulated in the interest 
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, or STEM fields.  
Last year FIRE NSBE Jr. came in 3rd place in the regional NSBE Engineering 
Design Competition and went to the national finals of the Team America Rocketry 
Challenge.  FIRE NSBE Jr. Students have also discovered how STEM relates to the 
world around them and have become excited about the attainment of academic 
excellence, leadership, technical development and teamwork.  Please invite all 
interested students to our FIRE NSBE Jr. Kickoff chapter meeting and post the 
attached flier and meeting information in your building and classroom.  YOUR 
HELP IS INVALUBLE in reaching the students who are interested in STEM careers 
and fun-filled engineering related activities.

During our first meeting on Saturday, September 10, 2011, 12:30-2:30 pm at the 
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor's Center in Greenbelt, MD we will have 
introductions and discuss engineering activities, parent support groups, and 
participation in NSBE PCI Conferences in Baltimore, MD and Pittsburg, PA.

We also look forward to meeting you in person and building successful 
partnerships with all educators, administrators, parents, and students.  If you 
are able to attend this upcoming Kickoff chapter meeting, or have valuable 
resources to share with the FIRE NSBE Jr. Chapter, please let us know.  Pass it 
on....


Sincerely,
Kamili Jackson
