    #STEAM 3D Printing Classes
      21 Jul - 10:00 AM
      Sammamish, United States
    ABOUT THE PROGRAM Have you imagined a world where printers are commonly used to print out everyday objects -- like keys and phone cases? Many predict that for future generations of teens, 3D printers will be in almost every household and be able to do just that. STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) 3D utilizes a structured curriculum, workbook and a web-based CAD (computer-aided design) program that allows you to optimize learning while having a great time.  This class begins teaching you the core basics of 3D printing and continues until you have gained expertise in 3D designing and printing. Each day we will assign a new project for you to create and print including items such as a rocket ship, ice cream cone and castle. STEAM 3D is led by teens and aided by an adult supervisor.   INSTRUCTORS The teen instructors and advisor are apart of Creative Children for Charity (3C) and have taught classes and organized hackathons at Coder Dojo in Bellevue and The Garage on the Microsoft campus. The registration fees from this class will go to support other STEAM-hosted youth events in our community.  SPONSORS & PARTNERS This ciriculum for this program is designed by Creative Children for Charity. The 3D Classes are hosted in partnership with the Sammamish YMCA. Learn more at 3cyouth.com.   MATERIALS Every student should bring their own laptop to the class. A mouse and charger are recommended.

Kathy Milhauser  (Portland, Oregon)   We are all familiar with the stress of too many meetings, and the pressure to be in “two places at once” – requiring us to juggle meetings, video conferences, phone calls, and other obligations in our increasingly crowded and often overbooked schedules. But what if you COULD be in two places at once? Robotic telepresence technology is an emerging trend that will soon be coming to a meeting near you.

(Calgary International Airport Expansion). This project encountered many micro successes and failures, with some of the issues attributed to differences in PM practices, cross PM disciplines (e.g. IT and Construction), with additional problems stemming from differences in human, departmental and institutional factors. Attendees can expect valuable takeaways applicable to both large and small projects of varying complexities. 2:45pm - 4:00pm   Forecasting Programs Eric Uytewaal (Ottawa, ON)   This presentation is based on Eric Uyttewaal’s new textbook ‘Forecasting Programs’ published in January 2018. Program managers who try managing a program like a project are doomed to fail: Program management has its own techniques and tools. So, what are those?
