Help a Robot
We need volunteers  for the Greater Kansas City Regional Robotics Competition (being held March 4-6, 2010 at Hale Arena, KCMO).


This is a high school robotics competition focused on teaching students just how fun science, technology, engineering, and math can be.
Any time you give will be time well-spent on your part and will be appreciated by these bright young people. Brighten your life by brightening someone else's.

Thought for the Day
Do you have New Years resolutions, or do you have executable plans for this coming year?

Send Us Your News

If you have information of interest to IEEE Kansas City Section members, please send that to the Publications Officer (writer @ ieee.org). Here are some examples of what we're looking for:

News pertaining to individual IEEE members of all grades, including students:

  • Awards, promotions, appointments, honors. Notable achievements.
  • "Looking for work"--send a paragraph explaining what you do and how to reach you.
  • Obituaries.

News to benefit other members

  • Technical courses, programs, seminars, lectures, lunch and learns, and tours open to members of the Section, a Society Chapter, or an Affinity Group Chapter.
  • Technical resources. A technical book or Website you found particularly useful.
  • Job openings.
  • Mentoring opportunities.
  • Updates on such groups as FIRST.

There is no "deadline." Just send information as you get it, and the Publications Officer will add it to the next eNL (if the item is appropriate and if space permits--and space nearly always permits).
