THE FINAL TIME THIS ACADEMIC YEAR!!!<br><br>
</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>On Saturday, May 31st,
2008, the UCR MESA Schools Program will be hosting its End of the Year
Event from 8:00am to 2:00pm. Approximately 200 - 300 students from local
high schools will compete in various innovative science and engineering
events.<br><br>
For those of you that are familiar with our program, you can appreciate
how important this competition can be for the students we serve. This is
their opportunity to learn by doing, demonstrating their academic and
technical expertise in the projects they complete and the events they
engage in. The End of the Year Event is the culmination of all the work
students did during the academic year. There are only 3
competitions that students participate in. It is not only an
opportunity to validate their hard work, but also to stress the value of
academics and design principles. Your help with this event will encourage
and inspire these students and their families, and perhaps even propel
them to pursue loftier goals in college and beyond.<br><br>
We need volunteers from 7:00am to 3:00pm to assist with various
logistics. Whatever assistance you can offer is appreciated.<br><br>
In preparation for this MESA event, volunteers are asked to attend a
Volunteer Information/Training Meetings on<br><br>
