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.
