5. UNFINISHED BUISNESS
1. Tutoring/Mentoring Situation :
• Two suharro ranch instructors that teach seventh and eight grades seem to need the most help.
• Come next semester, on JAN 20 th is when we are planning to kick the program off. It was also suggested that we move the meeting there instead of MA 128 for the convenience.
2. Fundraising:
• A raffle idea was suggested. Maybe the winner can get half the money and STEM could keep the rest?
3. STEM Shirts :
• Stem will have an official shirt. The shirt will be a polo shirt but we are unsure of the prices that the shirts will run.
• Members will investigate throughout the week to find good dealers and good prices. We will make a list then of the members that want a shirt and we will build from there.
4. COME SUPPORT PATRICK:
• Patrick has done so much for our club. Why not go show our support for him during the robot competition that will be taking place Nov. 2 nd at the challenger center. Make sure to come out and show unity and support.
• Challenger center is located on 83 rd ave. and Bearsley.
6. NEW BUISNESS :
1. FLIERS, FLIERS, FLIERS:
• Marline Enlo is the next advisor that will be coming to GCC from ASU. She will be doing her presentation during the STEM club meeting next month. Fliers are already being worked on. She put an emphasis on computer science, so if you are in related field come and join us.
2. Drop box for Frank:
• Our advisor for the club, Frank does not have a drop box where we can drop important information off if he is not at his office. He will be working on that so we can drop club information off.
3. ORBITAL:
• Orbital is a firm that has tons of engineers and STEM will try to make a connection/network with them.
• Each year Orbital builds rockets and launches them. We will try to incorporate this into the STEM club. We can build and launch rockets with the engineers at Orbital.
