Philly Freedom: Educon and musings about an Iowa version
January 24th and I was not able to swing a f2f trip to Educon. I am pretty bummed out, so I will catch what I can via the streams and posts. It appears to be a small cozy conference. I think Chris thought about 4-500 for their facility, the Science Leadership Academy (SLA).
This gets me thinking of what we might be able to afford to do in central Iowa. We have A. Maiers here in DM, Greg Davis (DMPS), several ISU C&I profs such as Dr’s D. Schmidt, A. Thompson, N. Davis, D. Niederhauser, C. Hargrave, and also S. McLeod in ELPS/Admin and the engineering folk. We have L. Zeitz in UNI, T. Buenz in Jefferson, S. Linduska, D. Krefting, T. Waterman, W. Anderson in Johnston, A. Wiley in JCSD and other ADE’s, and D. Johnson in southern Minn. B. Moore in KC. People from West HS and Omaha. V. Jaras at DE. We have IMSA just outside Chicago. Maybe we have a core and I’m sure I’ve left off others. An, of course, we have all our friends to add virtually. Maybe…just maybe we could pull this off.
Worth more thinking needed…another cup of coffee.
