Group Members Co-leaders: Amilyn Strayer and Zack Souza Julie Huynh Kaitlin Porter Jamilah Walls Kaley Volkmann Rachel Lynn Merideth Robinson
Objective Provide an educational and enjoyable visit to FSU for local High School students interested in IT and/or CCI.
Our Plan • Send local High Schools and Middle Schools an email invitation to visit FSU • Follow-up with schools- aiming for interest from many schools • During the Schools visit • Ice breakers (if necessary) • Take them on a guided tour • Provide informational speakers • Activity: take apart computers
Timeline September 22nd- First group meeting October 1st- Finalize and send out invitation / information to potential schools October 28th- Received RSVP from Godby High school November 1st- Deadline for schools November 4th-Group meeting to formulate itinerary November 13th- Tech day- GodbySchool visit from10:00am-1:00pm
Teamwork Co-leaders: Amilyn Strayer and Zack Souza: • Created one presentation each for the IT Leadership class • Lead and planned agenda for group meetings • Kept in communication through text message • Kept in communication with the group through Facebook • Divided the schools in the area and contacted them • Used insights from the entire group to plan the Schools visit agenda • Updated the Wiki Group Members: Julie Huynh: Took pictures to document the Schools Visit Kaitlin Porter: Contacted potential guest speakers, provided soda for the lunch provided to the high school students during their visit Jamilah Walls: Contacted potential guest speakers Kaley Volkmann: Gave a guided tour through the William Johnson Building Rachel Lynn: Guided the tour through FSU campus for the visiting students Merideth Robinson: Helped with the guided tour through FSU by answering the students questions
Our Results • Godby High School attended • Originally planned for 25 students to visit FSU, but the day before we were informed that there would only be 3 students coming • During the Schools visit • Ice breakers were not necessary as we were able to learn each others names quickly • FSU students were not needed as volunteers • The guided tour was personal • Ebe and Nancy stepped in as informational speakers • The activity to of taking apart computers was taken out of the agenda due to Godby’s time constraints • End Results: Success!
Our Future Suggestions 1. Provide an agenda to the potential guest speakers as early as possible • Group members suggested Professor Zeigler and Casey Yu 2. Reserve a Seminole Productions tour in advanced • Group members suggested that it would interest students 3. Constant Communication • With the schools you want to attend, if possible visit the schools in person to present the idea and bring a flyer 4. Be flexible • To the possibility of cancellations, work with the school to provide them with an experience that caters to their students interests
