I work as a technical support person on second shift in local firm called Advanced Micro-Sensors, Inc. which has Class 100 clean room facilities in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts and is a growing supplier of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)related products and magneto-resistive (MR) tape heads.
I am very active in my local Astronomy Club, Aldrich Astronomical Society and participate in many free public outreach events in conjunction with my fellow club members. My participation in these outreach programs includes volunteering at several organizations like the EcoTarium in Worcester, Massachusetts, the Arunah Hill Natural Science Center in Cummington, Massachusetts, and as well many talks to groups like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
In the past, I have made some arrangements with local school teachers to bring programs into schools and to actively work with science and Astronomy clubs during after school events. We have actively done events with multimedia including slide show presentations, videos from NASA/JPL and the NASA select channel and when the weather permits, we have given many night sky viewing sessions with the support of Aldrich Astronomical Society member telescopes.
