Thanks. I can put out flyers for SCALE but I thought it would be nice to have an ambassador for two reasons:
---- I'm going to give everyone an opportunity to do a 1-minute spiel about their organization, what it does, and who and how they want people to participate or contribute. I don't want the general SCALE pitch; I want the one tailored for education and youth.
---- You can make direct connections with students or organizations that you think would make good additions to SCALE programming or youth track.
I am not a good candidate to represent SCALE because I'm running the event and don't have the bandwidth. In addition, I have not been involved in the youth or educational side of SCALE and don't know what you're looking for.
BTW, this isn't some big conference. It's just something I thought up a few months ago, because I work with a few student groups, I've been part of some maker groups, and I have colleagues who are passionate about outreach. I just wanted to get them all in the same room, so they can show off their stuff and talk to each other.

Hey Lan and Iian,
I would love to be able to come and attend, but I dont own a car, and I am not sure about the transportation to there at that time. I can look more into it later this week though. As for the information, I will have the information done by the end of the work week, and was going to send those to Ilan once I finish.
thanks,
Phil
