1/27/14-1/31/14

     This week, we started presentations. I presented on the 30th, fairly successfully. I have also been receiving and replying to various company emails.


     Next week, I hope to receive more replies to my requests, whether they be positive or negative.

     This week, I sent out almost 60 emails to all of the contractors that work with the Johnson Space Center. Surprisingly, the representative from JES Tech, a consulting firm, already replied and accepted my invitation. This means that I have completed my deadline, and am already on my way to my second deadline.

     I have also begun working on the powerpoint for my presentation, which are due to begin on the 27th.

     Next week, I hope to receive more confirmation emails, or at least emails that a company can't make it. I also need to start advertising the event to students to get it lodged into their personal calendars.

     This week, I started my research on aerospace companies in the Houston and Texas areas. I found a page that lists all of NASA's Johnson Space Center's contractors, which includes contact information and address. On the site is listed approximately 60 different contractors which will allow me to selectively choose between firms. I have already sent emails to Lockheed Martin, a large aerospace R&D company. I have also written a draft letter to either send or email to the various companies.


     Next week, I want to narrow down my selection to approximately 30 companies and contact all of them. I also want to start working on my presentation that I shall give from the 27th of January to the 10th of February.

     This week, Ms. Bullis informed us about the requirements for our product and the amount of work necessary for it to be successful. We spoke on Tuesday, the 7th, and she approved the latest version of my product. I have decided to not contact NASA about their contacts, but rather invite NASA as one of the participating presenters for my product.


     This week, I created a personal deadline calendar for my product, and spoke to Mr. Moss concerning the feasibility of it. He approved the product and a possible date for it. I am hoping to host the event on the last Tuesday of March, with at least 10-12 companies attending and 50+ students attending.


     The first thing on my long list of things to get done is to contact aerospace companies in the Houston area concerning speaking at my event.
