Event Report:
A huge thank you to all of presenters from our Fall Workshop Day at CSUN on Saturday, November 6, 2010. Charlie Hurst from JPL, Ric Roberts from Raytheon, Chris Husmann from Northrop Grumman, ADAM MANFREDONIA from PTC, KEVIN RUDOLPH RAYTHEON, Lilly Shraibati Metropolitan Water District, Debbie Dalton MEDTRONIC TOASTMASTERS, Ray Straub, Paul Fabares Intellitek Paul Dominguez Jr. Underwriters Laboratory, Milo Knapp, Darryl Newhouse & Kevyn Arcudia. I was able to visit with our student participants during the passing periods and after the workshop and heard great things about your sessions and their excitement about the new season.

I could not have even considered taking on this event without the help of Tarek Shraibati and the CSUN School of Engineering. There are countless times when many of us have needed his help and he has stepped up without hesitation. A true Gracious Professional!

This is the first time we invited teams that play FRC, FTC and VEX. The students worked together in their sessions and there was something for everyone.
