HA NT District Virtual Training Session
2020-04-25 09:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | freeconferencecall.com details below
***IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE & ATTACHED INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE 4/25***

NT Trekkers,

I hope you and your families continue to be safe and that all this madness breaks up in time for you to enjoy your Northern Tier High Adventure trek this summer. Keep an eye on the NT website for their updates (https://www.ntier.org/).

We are going to continue to do our best to ensure you and your crews are fully prepared for your adventure. We are ready to teach you virtually on Saturday, 25 April, 9:00am-1:00pm using freeconferencecall.com. We have pictures, videos, tips, considerations, recommendations, and experiences to share with you live. And of course we’ll be there to answer your questions.

To ensure the success of this virtual endeavor, please see the attached slides on how to connect. Please read all the instructions before you try to connect. We want to collect your name, NT base, unit, and youth/adult status when you sign in, so please follow the instructions. Overall, we want you to see our slides (etc) and open up your audio only to ask questions. That should maximize connectivity and speed slide changes.

We’ll open the website and phone lines at 8:50am. We’ll have a small survey for you to complete when you join so we all know our audience and collective high-adventure experience. We’ll also give you a link to the slides in the chat area.

We hope all your crew advisors and crew chiefs make the time to join us. Our training normally takes until 1:30, but virtual training might take a bit longer.

Parents, We will need parents to drive/attend as well. Adults single day tickets are $15. See below and you must register prior to the event as well.

Sponsor Exhibit Special Edition January 31, 2020

You Spoke, We Listened. Changes Ahead for 2020
USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo
Dear USA Science & Engineering Festival Supporters,
This coming April marks the 10th anniversary of the USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo, the nation’s largest celebration of STEM! We are excited to continue our mission to stimulate and sustain the interest of our nation’s youth in STEM by producing and presenting the most compelling, exciting, and educational Festival in the world.
We have read all of your comments and survey responses and have taken attendee, exhibitor, and sponsor feedback into careful consideration. As a result, we have made significant changes to attendance at the upcoming 2020 Expo.
All attendees will be required to have a ticket to enter the Expo on Saturday, April 25, 2020, and Sunday, April 26, 2020.Ticket Information:

Kids 18 and under are FREE but will be required to obtain a free ticket online and present the ticket at the Expo to allow entry. A ticketed adult must accompany children under the age of 13.
Current college and university students, with a valid student ID, are FREE but will be required to obtain a free ticket online and present a valid student ID to enter the Expo.
Single-day tickets for adults ages 19+ are $15 online and $20 on-site (while supplies last). See below for details on our Early Bird Special and Financial Assistance.
Two-day passes for adults ages 19+ are $25 online.

Why These Changes? By monitoring and limiting Festival Expo attendance, the attendee experience will be more fulfilling. Students will have the opportunity to spend more quality time at each booth exploring hands-on activities and interacting with our dedicated sponsors and exhibitors. Admission fees for adults will not come close to meeting our expenses as we gratefully rely on our sponsors to make the Festival possible. By modulating attendance, we look forward to creating an optimal experience for everyone.
Early Bird Special:From now until Sunday, February 9, our newsletter subscribers are eligible for an early bird special. This special includes a discounted rate of $10 for single-day adult tickets or $20 for a two-day pass. The ticket price will increase to $15 and $25 at 11:45 pm EST on Sunday, February 9, 2020.We anticipate both Expo days to sell out, so please do not delay. Click here to access the ticket site and use the code EarlyBird to receive $5.00 off the ticket price valid until Sunday, February 9, 2020. Note: Tickets are non-refundable.
Don’t forget, kids are free to attend, but they still need to obtain a ticket for entry, and a ticketed adult must accompany children under the age of 13.
