Sorry I haven't updated in a while I have been busy and then I forgot to update yesterday. Friday I met with both Corrie and Lenny to go over some ideas that I came up with and plans for what I will do for the rest of my time with them. My suggestions for advertisement for themselves and as a way to get more recognition for their sponsors was to get one inch arm bands and have some saying of the sort with their webpage typed on the inside of the band. Corrie and I came up with the fraise I <3 Robots. Lenny liked the tag line so much that they are going to start a new marketing campaign all around I <3 Robots to raise awareness of the program and hopefully as a pitch to get more sponsors on board. My other idea came up with all the safety classes that all of the kids wear in every single one of the competitions for safety reasons. I noticed that the safety glasses are very plan and rather boring. I remembered how St. Jude put their name on the side of the free glasses that we got for Up 'til Dawn and brought up the idea for them to use some of the space on the glasses them selves for sponsorship and to put their name on them. I thought it would make the glasses more useful and look a cooler as well. Lenny and Corrie liked both ideas that I came up with and we even decided we want to make a cool graphic tee with a robot that says I <3 Robots for the volunteers instead of just the bland shirts they get now. Lots of exciting things. I'll be working on making their sponsorship packages more flashy and professional. I'll be designing a new presentation to walk people through the six robotics programs with graphs. I might try to find a way to get a robot animation give the presentation. I will also be helping to come up with a presentation to sell to the board to get them to go for the bands and the I <3 Robots campaign. Well thats all for now.
I <3 Robots,
Travis
Hi Travis,
ReplyDeleteMrs. (Sanders) Scifres here!! I am SO EXCITED for this opportunity you have. I'm so sorry that you have to be SUFFERING all alone in HAWAII! Yikes, how did you score this gig? I've never been to Hawaii, and you'll be spending the summer there. Way to go. I will faithfully be following your blog. Please know that I appreciate the time you're putting in to keeping those of us who love you up-to-date on this adventure. By the way, I LOVE DETAILS such as how your room looks, what the weather is like, what you're eating, etc. I will be commenting back so stay tuned for my updates as well. #1 from me...TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY:-)
Have a great day, Mrs. S
Hey Mrs. S,
ReplyDeleteMy room is a small single room dorm with a bed, a closet, a desk and a big window at the end. I have been eating lots of Chinese from the China town along with subway and some other random places. The weather has been perfect it has rained a few times but it feels great when it rains is cool but not cold and its been from the 70s-80s since I have been here. I "landed" the gig through my Reagan Scholarship at Eureka! It's a lot of fun and yeah suffering alone but I guess if you have to be alone Hawaii is the place to do it. Happy Birthday btw!
