Hello, Laura:
I received your announcement below and I am trying to determine whether
this is something that my museum should be a part of and, if so, which
department would be most appropriate to participate. Can you please
tell me more about the event? What kinds of participation opportunities
are available for museums? Is this an educational event or is it more
publicity- and marketing-related?
I appreciate your taking the time to help me with my questions and I
look forward to hearing back from you.
All the best,
Lauren

Dear ISEN-L ers:
On behalf of the National Engineers Week Foundation, ASTC is happy to
extend an invitation to our member institutions to participate in the
2010 Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering and
Technology. The marathon is a live 24-hour forum providing information
and insight for women about careers in engineering and technology
featuring webcasts, online chats and teleconferences on March 10-11,
2010. This international event, led by representatives from Motorla
Inc. and Rockwell Collins Engineering and Technology, seeks to explore
various issues critical to the current and future success of women in
engineering careers. Topical tracks are planned for pre-college,
college and professional audiences.
Science centers and museums, with their appeal to a wide spectrum of
lifelong learners, are positioned as perfect partners for hosting and/or
participating in the marathon. The flexible nature of the programming
could be utilized to enhance field-trip, camp-in and afterschool
experiences. Additionally, your institution might strengthen its
relationship with local chapters of professional engineering societies
or local engineering and technology corporations by hosting a viewing of
one of the webcasts.
Event coordinators are seeking interest by January 10, 2010. More
information on hosting or participating in the marathon, along with
contact information for the regional lead in your part of the world,
visit the event web site at
http://www.eweek.org/EngineersWeek/GlobalMarathon.aspx. If you would
like further assistance, please contact me at
