Learn about EdCC Materials Science
An open house for Edmonds Community College’s Materials Science Technology program will be held from 3-7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 18 in Monroe Hall, 20000 68th Ave. W., Lynnwood.
Participants can visit the state of the art lab, meet manufacturing industry experts, learn about career opportunities and bachelor’s degree options and ask current students about their projects and experiences.
Demand from employers for technicians with knowledge of advanced materials led Edmonds Community College to start a materials science technology degree program in fall of 2003 with federal funding. Students may pursue a two-year degree that prepares them for jobs in advanced manufacturing as an engineering technician. They may also go on for a bachelor’s degree in materials engineering, industrial engineering or technology management.

Apply for aerospace scholars program
The Washington Aerospace Scholars program, sponsored by the Museum of Flight, is seeking high school juniors interested in math, science, computer science and engineering for a one-week internship opportunity to help plan a mission to the planet Mars. Applications are due today, Friday, Jan. 12.
Sen. Paull Shin, D-Edmonds, said that this competitive learning experience is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students, especially since it is free to chosen participants.
The Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS) program is a NASA-designed curriculum open to all high school juniors across the state. Participants put their math and science skills to work by using the Internet to work on assignments. Completion of assignments allows students a chance to compete for a one-week summer residency. State legislators will choose the participants. The week-long internship is WAS’s most exciting component, since students get to work closely with scientists to develop a simulated, human mission to Mars.
To be considered for the program, students must be:
• a United States citizen;
• a Washington state resident;
• 16 years of age;
• interested in math, science, computer science, technology or engineering; and
• able to access the Internet to complete daily lessons.

Homeschool Resource Center performance
The Edmonds Homeschool Resource Center presents the drama production “Dames at Sea,” Jan. 26 through Feb. 3.
Dames at Sea is a spoof of the campy, nostalgic Hollywood movie musicals of the 1930s. A show has to close because the theater is being torn down. The performers have no place to dance, and the ingenue has no place to become a star.
Just in time, the solution sails into view.
Directed by Shileah Corey and choreographed by Gabe Corey, the show involves a cast of 30 actors, ages 14 to 18. Performances will be at 7 p.m. Jan. 26, 27, and Feb. 2 and 3 and at 2 p.m. Jan. 28 and Feb. 3.
Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door. All performances are at Edmonds Homeschool Resource Center, 23200 100th Ave. W., Edmonds Washington.
Call 425-670-7840 for directions and information.
Edmonds Homeschool Resource Center is a K-12 homeschool resource center that operates as an alternative school in the Edmonds School District.
