What’s next for CTE?
Take some time for yourself this weekend and drop by to see the Bethel Float in the 2013 80th Annual Daffodil Parade. This year’s theme is “The Magic of Music”. The parade starts in Tacoma at 10:15 and ends in Orting at approximately 5:00 p.m. The Bethel Float is absolutely amazing this year, thanks to the designs of our very own Dodie Raden. Be sure to come see it for yourself.
Danette Hilton from Intel: Danette has worked at Intel for the past 14 years and has a Master’s Degree in Engineering Management. Danette is a member of the Society of Women Engineers and volunteers her time to help young women reach their goal to become engineers.
Raelene Sanders from Microsoft: Raelene started at Microsoft as a Network Engineer, became a Project Manager, and is now a planner and manager of Venture Integrations for the company. She is also involved in IGNITE, and sponsors educational visits to the Microsoft campus.
Stacey Black from Boeing Employees Credit Union: Stacey is the Financial Education Manager for BECU and spends most of her days working with Educators and students in high school classrooms. Stacy’s seminar helps to prepare young people to become financially responsible adults. After all these young ladies will need all the help they can get when they are trying to figure out what to do with all the money they are going to make as engineers right?
Commander Trish Beckman: Commander Beckman is US Navy Retired. She currently flies for Boeing Test and Evaluation. She is FAA certified as an Aircraft Dispatcher and Flight Navigator. She volunteers with several organizations to encourage girls to pursue career in Math and Science.

A BIG IGNITE THANK YOU TO ALL THE PRESENTERS!
Success!!!!
IGNITE Event-Bethel School District
March 27, 2013
On March 27, 2013 the Career and Tech Ed department in the Bethel School District hosted 40 students from three of their high schools for another successful IGNITE Luncheon. These young ladies were invited by our career specialists building on their interest in engineering. Five dynamic presenters empowered these young women to “believe and achieve”. A little bit about our presenters;
The students attending this event made comments like…..
“Information was very relevant”, “Great Speakers, very inspiring!”, “Mind-‐blowing”, “There are opportunities for woman everywhere!”, “Pilots are cool and can be girls”! “Use technology to your advantage”. “I did not know that there were so many scholarship opportunities through IGNITE and Engineering”!
Robotics Teams: The ladies from Bethel, Spanaway Lake, and Graham Kapowsin High School Robotics teams, shared their knowledge and enthusiasm as they were preparing for the Robotics Competition the next day in Seattle. There are several girls on our high school Robotics teams and they were quite convincing in encouraging their peers to join the teams.

GKHS Student makes it to the Dean’s List Finalists for FIRST Robotics!
Brandyn Bayes has been selected as a Dean’s List Finalist and has been invited to St. Louis MO., for the Annual FIRST Robotics Championship Competition. Only two students in WA State received this invitation and were recognized as some of the best and brightest talent in the FIRST community.
We would like to wish Brandyn luck in the competition and we hope he wins one of the 10 awards that will be given on April 26, 2013 at the event. Whatever the outcome, Brandyn is a winner in our eyes.

QUOTES OF THE MONTH
“The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows”. ~Sydney J. Harris “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school”. ~Albert Einstein “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it”. ~Aristotle “Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one”. ~Malcolm S. Forbes. “A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron”. ~Horace Mann
