Are you looking for an opportunity to volunteer in the greater DC community this Fall?
Do you wish you could use your science and engineering background to inspire the next generation of inventors?

If so, come to an information session hosted by PTOS’s own ReSET mentoring group, Wednesday, September 12 from Noon-1:00 in MDE 5A44.  We will be providing food and drinks.

ReSET, a non-profit group started in DC, puts current and retired engineers into local public schools to engage students with hands on science and engineering experiments.

For the past two years, amazing PTOS volunteers have formed their own ReSET group and have been working with 3rd and 4th graders at Whittier Elementary School, a DC science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) school.  We will be starting the semester off in October (after the end of the year deadline of course) and will be conducting the following experiments: fingerprinting, solar cars, candy bridges, dry-ice ice cream and an egg drop, the last of which is hosted in the PTO atrium.

This will be a great time for anyone interested in volunteering with PTOS’s ReSET group to obtain more information about our group as well as ask any questions you may have.

For any questions please contact PTOS ReSET Co-Chairs Danielle Clerkley (Danielle.Clerkley@uspto.gov) or Pete Mehravari (peter.mehravari@uspto.gov)

Details: THE “NO STRINGS ATTACHED BOOK CLUB” SPONSORED BY THE SOCIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PTOS “Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities. Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens’ anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys, and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can’t imagine leaving behind” (Demon Copperhead, by Barbara Kingsolver (Harper) - The Pulitzer Prizes) Microsoft Teams meeting Join on your computer, mobile app or room device Click here to join the meeting Meeting ID: 282 072 484 130 Passcode: CXqzq9 Download Teams | Join on the web Or call in (audio only) +1 540-566-5633,,310781913# United States, Roanoke Phone Conference ID: 310 781 913# Tuesday, September 12, 2023, 4:30-5:30 PM (ET) LYNN BRISTOL: LYNN.BRISTOL@USPTO.GOV (PTOS) Interested in joining the PTOS?
