May 8-12, 2012. Spacecraft Technology Expo is the first and only exhibition of its kind, bringing together global decision makers, OEMs, supply chain experts, industry executives, suppliers and customers to identify present and future market growth opportunities for the design, manufacture, pre-launch testing and operations of spacecraft, satellites, and space-related technologies. The proceedings included a spacecraft technology summit, a three-day technical conference program built around the needs and priorities of key industry technology leaders in spacecraft and satellite design, build, and testing. The exhibition hall hosted satellite systems, launch vehicle and spacecraft design, engineering and testing, and covered all facets of the manufacturing supply chain. Speakers came in from NASA, MIT, Intelsat… oh, and there was someone called Aldrin, from the United Launch Alliance. Deep space, stardate 2212…..

Mar. 15-17, 2012. ITEEA is short for the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association. Members are teachers, administrators, developers, and university personnel who are committed to providing the best technology and engineering resources today to bring forward tomorrow’s future innovators. The organization claims to have developed the only standards-based national model for Grades K-12 that delivers technological literacy. Their model, Engineering by Design, is built on Standards for Technological Literacy (from ITEEA itself); Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM); and Project 2061, Benchmarks for Science Literacy (AAAS). Students participating in the program learn concepts and principles in an authentic, problem-based environment. So… no problem, engineering-wise….
