Sept 23rd-25th & Sept 30th-Oct 2nd. The origin of Oktoberfest can be traced back to October 12, 1810, the wedding day of Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. Against tradition, the couple invited Munich’s common people to the festivities. The events were held over five days on the fields in front of the city gates now called Theresienwiese (Theresa’s Meadow). Forty thousand people showed up for the celebration. A year later, they decided to throw the party all over again as an anniversary tribute to the royal couple. And so the tradition began…

Reading, writing, computing and arithmetic - The fundamentals of education have changed. It’s hard to imagine a job that doesn’t use a computer in some way shape or form, yet Colorado’s school system has struggled to close the technology gap for under-resourced youth. The gap between rich and poor is also a gap between those who have access to the opportunities technology brings and those without. In 2004, KidsTek, in collaboration with the University of Denver's Colorado Community-Based Research Network wrote a research study of the technology gap in Colorado - and its ramifications for our kids. Since KidsTek's inception, we have been working to to bridge that digital divide.
Formula SAE is an international student design competition organized by SAE International; a global association of more than 138,000 engineers and technical experts in the aero-space, automotive and commercial vehicle industries. The concept of the competition is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to build a competitive small Formula-style race car. Teams are judged by their design choices, cost effectiveness, business presentations, and the performance of their car. The car’s performance is judged based on acceleration, autocross, skid pad, and endurance/fuel efficiency races. Student teams spend time designing, manufacturing and testing a prototype based on a certain set of rules to ensure safety but to most importantly, help push the limits of engineering and technology. By being forced to come up with innovative ways to stay competitive while abiding by rule and budget constraints, students are able to apply their theoretical textbook knowledge to get real world results. Since its start in 1978, Formula SAE has evolved into one of the top engineering competitions in the world and it helps to promote careers/excellence in engineering, manufacturing, design, development, management, marketing and finance.
