The Kodak Technicians’ Symposium, "The Technician Element in Innovative Technology at Eastman Kodak", was held February 9, 2007. The event was co-sponsored by the Rochester Technician Affiliate Group (TAG) and Kodak's Office of the Chief Technical Officer. The symposium invited all Kodak technicians to present posters of their work. Dr. Catherine Hunt, 2007 President of the American Chemical Society was the keynote speaker and focused her presentation on the three central themes of her presidency:
* Education: For ourselves, legislators, the media, the general public, and the next generation
* Collaboration: Building a strong, vibrant and vocal technical community
* Innovation: Recreating our companies, our schools, and ourselves
Following Dr. Hunt’s presentation, a poster session was held in Kodak’s research complex. A total of 21 posters were presented by Kodak technicians on a wide array of topics including inkjet printing, thin film transistors, OLED diplays, nanoparticles, polymer synthesis, and many others.
The symposium organizing committee members were Deborah Janes, Tulienne Molaire, Timothy Wilson, Anne Marie Lanzafame, Joan Williams, Mary Jane Witkiewitz and Dick Cobb. The organizing committee would like to express our thanks to Doreen Johnson, John Dyer and Nancy Ferris for their generous support of the symposium.
Tim Wilson and Deb Janes were involved with several educational outreach opportunities during February:
A forensic workshop was presented at CWS STANYS for educators at Nazareth College. This activity was held to help educators to meet new circular mandates.
An educational outreach poster was presented at the Technician Affiliate Group’s 2007 poster session on Feb. 9. This poster was well received and may result in the renewed support to sponsor a science show during “Bring Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day” at Kodak in April.
Six general science demonstrations were held for Otetiana Council’s Bay Water District Winter Fun Day at East Ridge High School Feb. 10. The popularity of the show was apparent as the organization committee asked us to reserve a date for next year at the conclusion of the day.
Tim and Deb were invited to participate in a career day at Spencerport Jr. High School on Feb. 14 to present excite a newly developed presentation entitled: “What do students need to succeed in a science career?” The event was cancelled due to inclement weather and may be rescheduled in the future.
A series of hands-on activities were also presented for National Engineering Week held at the Rochester Museum and Science Center on Feb. 17.
