Meeting Minutes
4-10-2008
PPN is next Thursday 4/17 at 7PM
Lighting things on fire. Blowing stuff up. Causing general pandemonium …all in the name ofscience!
Everybody Participating
1) By Monday 4/14 have demos ready (i.e. having been tested successfully) or they will be cut from the list (see attached sheet)
2) Write up a short paragraph (4-5 sentences) about your demo(s) and email it to the SPS account. These will form the beginnings of our Big Book of PPN Demos (brainchild of Dr. B, from whom all knowledge flows)
3) Rehearsals: Tuesday 4/15 (7-9PM), Wednesday 4/16 (6:30PM – kinks worked out)
4) Contact Mike Wilson if you need help setting up your demos. If you need access to the demo room to set up your demo, talk to Mike Wilson, Dr. Borgardt, or any of the other physics professors. It is not too late to sign up for a demo this weekend (as long as it works by Monday)!!!
