Winners & Losers, MathBlazers 2003

Here are a few events that were produced by Emily Sopensky and The Iris Company.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IEEE Vanguard Series Short Courses 2000-2002

Solicited by IEEE Electron Devices Society, these 6-hour short courses were conceived as a fast track on new technology. The topics, RF-CMOS, fiber optics, hi-k dielectrics, and modeling, rendered great demand. Venues for the courses were Austin, San Jose, and Taiwan.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Dallas Math Blazers 2003, 2004

Like a lot of chapters of national non-profit organizations, BGCD (10 faciities) supported national fundraising programs. With confusion about names and giving, many Dallas contributors gave to the national with the believe that the funds were going to support local efforts. Dependent locally on a large number of fundraising events, the BGCD was interesting in clearing up this distinction between national and local programs. Additionally, BGCD was interested in promoting home-grown programs, like the MathBlazers competition.

With the help of the Iris Company and Ray Marchant, video entrepreneur, a commercial video clip was produced. Other promotional efforts as well as retaining intellectual property were overshadowed by the partnership that grew with Texas A&M University professor of education Gerald Kulm. Having studied and worked with large urban schools, like Los Angeles, Professor Kulm developed curriculum for the MathBlazers program, an year-long, afterschool program that culminated annual in a competition among the 10 BGCD facilities.
