MaterialsDC Student Night
Join us on Wednesday April 19, 2023, with Material Advantage students from across the U.S. for networking after Congressional Visit Days
Material Advantage, the student program for materials science and engineering, is participating in "STEM on the Hill" Congressional Visits Day, bringing students from across the country to Washington DC to raise visibility and support for science, engineering and technology.
The Washington DC Chapters of the American Ceramic Society and ASM have invited the students to share their experiences on Capitol Hill and to network with each other and our local members. We have reserved the Garden Room at Station 4, a private space with plenty of seating and space for socializing with DC materials professionals.
The meeting is across the street from the Waterfront Metro Station on the Green Line. It's around the corner from the DC Wharf, the newest and shiniest spot in DC for a stroll along the river, top dining and nightlife, and cool rooftop cocktails.
DATE: Wednesday, April 19, 2023
6:00 pm Social/Networking in the Garden Room at Station 4
6:30 pm Buffet dinner - a delicious spread of pulled pork, burgers, and crispy fish sliders, veggie and mushroom flatbreads, salads, and delectable desserts, plus all the soft drinks, iced tea, and coffee/tea. (There will also be drink tickets available!)
8:00 pm Adjourn
LOCATION: The Garden Room at the Station 4 Bistro

Calling ASM Chapter members!
We are looking for a a few volunteers to be at the camp, lend their technical expertise in a very informal way, "Schmoozing" with some of the teachers who will be in attendance, discussing the experiments as they are carried out in small groups, and even in a few selected instances giving a brief talk at lunch about the topics of their life work.
Calling All Teachers! Attend a one-week professional development workshop this summer at no cost to you!
Questions? For additional information for teachers, contact Jeane Deatherage, Administrator of Foundation Programs at jeane.deatherage@asminternational.org; 1-800-336-5152, X5533.
