Small Spacecraft Industry Day

(Yeah, it's not an exciting post, but it is good info...)

So, you've made posters before, right? No?

Well, then. Aaron gave some good info that would probably be hella useful for everyone. If you've got more tips, put 'em in the comments, please!

Notes from Aaron [bracket notes by me]:

Stanford's poster page [the template dimensions and those comments don't apply, but good info going around, and templates could be modified to fit your posters]

'The first time I made a poster it was quite an intimidating task and required a couple of printings to get it right. One suggestion is to print it in color on an 8.5x11 sheet.... shrink the page to fit when printing. It should be about "border line" as far as readability. ' [this should definitely help you see the balance of it and help make sure it'll look good and pleasing to the eye when you see it printed large as life.]

In the past I've started with the templates from the Stanford media services.

This link also has some good info on structure to get you started. Plus it makes pop culture references, which I'm all for.

I (and your mentors*) can check them out on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday... if I'm in the county, I'd be happy to look at them.

Thanks, guys! Good luck!


* probably not on the weekend for your mentors, unless we know where they live; then we could probably arrange something.

Meeting the lost members

Hello,

Let's make this blog more lively. It's a nice way to know what on Earth is everybody doing.
Today we had the sexual harassment POSH training. I have to admit I was kinda reluctant at the beginning that these almost 2 hours would be useful. And I still don't know if they were, however, I can say it was interesting (for me). The woman talking was quite energetic and even quite convincing in whatever she spoke.

After that I had the chance to go to the original Small Spacecraft Office and find there the rest of the mates/interns/colleagues/friends in this office. Because we are splitted in two groups. There I met the rest of our team and we decided to have lunch together. Actually I decided to have lunch together and then I "shared" my idea with Lulu, Suzanne and Chip (I hope I understood all the names right). So at 12:30 we met in the Cafeteria. There we exchanged some experiences together and also exchanged rooms. In the lodge is a tradition that instead of exchanging cells to socialize, we exchange room numbers.

And this is all, let's see what happens this noon in the Softball match.

Forgive me if the expressions here are not the correct ones.
