Outreach+to+Schools

__ Project Outline __ Research has shown that decisions made at the middle and high school level can affect an individual’s future employment options. The Pathways Project encourages computing careers by providing a print and electronic visual guide to various solutions and resources for students in our community that enables them to reach the goal of an IT/computing career. THIS GROUP will review the lists created by previous groups – contact schools and go visit them to talk about IT/ICT.

__June 18, 2012__
 * __Update__**

Contact list has been created. The list consist of 5 local summer camps in the Tallahassee area. An email has been drafted, reviewed and edited by each member of the group. We came up with content for pre and post surveys in this weeks group meeting. Surveys will be written up and finalized tonight. Once emails are sent off to summer camps, each group member will follow up with their assigned contact with a phone call if contact has not responded within a week. Group will meet up next week to discuss information on contacts and to create an initial outline for showcase slides and presentation.

__July 9, 2012__

Weekly group meetings have been held and good information have been passed and discussed throughout the group. Out of the 5 contacts we have two potential partners, YMCA possibly for the summer and Rotary for the fall. We will follow up with either a phone call or a personal visit to Maclay, Mary Brogan, and Maglab this week. Surveys have been made and showcase slides and presentation have been put together. With time running out we are hoping to get at least one camp to agree for a visit in the summer. At the same time we are gathering information to be passed on to the fall outreach group to have things in place for them.
