There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
(Please note: This week's Think Tank will be on the 14th floor of Coda. If you do not yet have badge access to this floor, we'll provide an escort near the 2nd floor elevators beginning at 3:30 p.m.)
Join us as we bring together speakers from K12 outreach programs across campus to discuss the role that Georgia Tech, as a technical research university without a College of Education, can have to strengthen the K12 pipeline. We'll discuss the state of STEM K12 education in Georgia and Georgia Tech's opportunities to make an impact on the STEM pipeline.
We'll also talk about the value of public-private partnerships and how these can be leveraged to better engage with our communities and schools. If you are interested in joining the effort and participating in K12 STEM activities from campus or want to learn more about the K12 STEM pipeline in Georgia and what our campus is doing, please join us for the Nov 7 Think Tank.
