Affiliate Societies Council of Dayton

Summer Science and Engineering Camps

The Outstanding Engineers and Scientists Awards Banquet was held at the University of Dayton River Campus, 1700 Patterson Blvd., on Thursday April 26. Twelve awardees were recognized, which were selected by participating member organizations and the ASC Awards Committee from 29 nominations. These outstanding members of our science, engineering and technology communities, the best of the best, are listed at the Engineers and Scientists Awards link given above. An enjoyable evening was had by all, which included guest speaker Dr. Vince Russo.

The ASC 2012 TechFest program was held at Sinclair Community College on February 18 and 19 and it was very successful with 73 exhibits provided by 78 organizations plus 11 speakers, who gave 38 youth-oriented presentations, and eight filled teacher workshop sessions. We registered a record 3,309 youth over the two days, which gives more than 5,000 total attendance including the parents. The 2012 year is special, because it is the 10th anniversary of the TechFest program. This program was first presented as part of the 2003 celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first powered, heavier-than-air, manned flight by Dayton's Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903.

The Affiliate Societies Council (ASC) and its TechFest Team received the 2010 Wilson Charbonneaux Award from the Engineers Club of Dayton. The award is given annually to honor those individuals and organizations for their efforts to make science and technology understandable to the general public and to understand the impact that science and technology has on society.
