I.Q. Board Sharing

Discussion: Tim Pospisil thanked the board of their patience in his being absent from meetings. He said NPPD is currently working on a program with the governor's office called Cyber Start, which focuses on getting high school girls interested in cyber security. Pospisil said it is a six-day online program kids can participate in and can win scholarships. He said the goal is to entice high school girls to go into science and cyber security industry. Pospisil said he will let the board know when it comes out. The program does not cost schools or the state anything to participate. Cyber security is a growing field, and it will not be getting any less. Pospisil said the key is getting the governor to participate. He said kids who took a survey before participating and then after participating, and there was a significant increase in interest.

Doug Willoughby said he hoped the board had the opportunity to see what the kids were doing at the state conference. He said it was very interesting. Candy Becher said the student showcase is one of the best things at the conference. She said the parliamentary procedure was very interesting. Becher said some schools have no rules about how long people can speak at meetings and didn’t realize there could be a time limit. Becher said one school also has a program called GRIT based on a book by the same name. Becher said there are ten parts to GRIT, and students’ vote on the ones to choose.

Mike Goos congratulated Mike Jeffryes, and Doug Molczyk and Theresa Seipel for being either elected or re-elected to the board. Theresa Seipel said she enjoyed the conference. She said she enjoyed a program on teaching kids to problem solve. The presentation talked about a girl who scored terrible on the IQ test because she answered way outside the box. A teacher then was asking her questions on red and blue colors and which was more important and why, and the girl said they were both important because without them there would be no purple
