 * Point of Contact:

Please send me an email if you have not already with your contact info, idea for a learning station, and how many pavilion tables you will need. Thanks! Laurie (I have a spreadsheet with 12 learning stations so far, but we need a lot more! Posted: May 2, 2010)

I am thinking that the audience for the learning stations will be elementary students who are too young for the youth leadership workshops.


 * The stations should be hands-on and engaging.
 * A minimum of 20 learning stations would be needed: each would engage 4 - 6 students at a time for 5 - 10 minutes.
 * We would need to coordinate stations so we do not have a lot of replication of similar activities.

This assumes about 100 students at a time with a rotation between the presentation of awards and time for the learning stations.

All of this is very dependent on numbers of students!!! Fewer students: fewer stations! anyone have any idea of numbers? -
 * (Ryan will get numbers by the middle/end of April - Right now plan for 500-1000 participants rotating through over 3 hours)

Ideas for learning stations? Brainstorm?
