Make Connections on the Workshop Exhibit Floor

Whether you are a veteran Workshop attendee or a first-timer, the exhibit floor is a must-see.  There will be vendors to visit, computers to try out, interactive displays, great giveaways, student performances, and a free lunch. 

Here are some highlights:

Park Area New for this year, treasure chest bingo drawings will take place in the Park Area, located across from the Cyber Café in the 2000 Aisle. The prizes are donated by many of the exhibitors. Student groups, from several of the exhibiting school districts, will perform before and after the drawings.  If your district would like to be considered for a performance slot, contact Lynn Anderson at (609) 278-5223.

Cyber Café While on the exhibit floor, visit the Cyber Café where you’ll be able to surf the Internet, e-mail other workshop participants, post notes on bulletin boards and engage in distance learning. The Cyber Café is sponsored by Transnet, Hewlett Packard and Cisco Systems.  It will be in a new location, at in the front of the 2000 Aisle.

Interactive Displays Experience the thrill of being a pilot right on the Exhibit Floor!  The National Talent Network of EIRC (Educational Information & Resource Center) and the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center will provide online flight simulations using lap tops. Stop by the 2300 Aisle and take a supersonic “ride.”
