A quick visit to Aqua Vita Farm (Sherrill, NY)
This weekend, I was taking my Mom for a car ride and came upon a very cool place, Aqua Vita Farms. They have renovated one of the old Oneida Silver factory buildings into a giant aquaponic farm system. Below is a short video clip of their operation and CLICK HERE to link to a news article about them.
I will be calling the owner, Mark Doherty to arrange a possible CNYTEEA tour in May. Let me know if you are interested?

all of Park Hall and most of Wilber Hall will be rebuilt. Come see the
construction that is currently underway, review plans for the future
facilities, and visit our existing labs.
CNYTEEA & local NYSTEEA membership rises for 2011~2012
Coming off the great success of our "75th Celebration" is the definite increase in our local and state membership. CNYTEEA Treasurer for Life, (and our Teacher of the Year) Paul Mizer, sent these numbers on our current membership. They are definitely a huge improvement from previous years, but there are many of you that read this blog that have not join our membership. I highly recommend that you do! Invest in your career and our discipline's future. It is never too late to send the check and membership form.

Bringing EbD into New York State ~ from Chuck Goodwin
 |
| If you would like to support this effort, please click & printout complete the above form and mail it to Chuck Goodwin (12 Tudor Drive, Endicott, NY 13760) |
Re: Engineering by Design (EbD)
Please make copies of the attached one page doc. (purpose to build support for bringing EbD Curricula into NYS) and distribute during any Regional Assoc. or department Meetings that you attend. Then if you would, please collect them and mail the forms back to me. My address can be found below.
No one should be concerned about signing this doc. It is purely for each individual to
show their support for ANY teachers and their respective schools, that would ultimately desire EbD and
for them to gain access to this up to date EbD curricula (FREE) in N.Y.S. The information will be shared within an
extremely small group of folks. The EbD fee of $23,990.00, for each of the first three years, is the total amount needed for the entire state and NOT for individual school districts.
Schools that have PLTW, SCANTEK, and other vendor based programs that are happy with or do not want to change
will NOT be expected to deliver this EbD curricula. Many schools that cannot afford PLTW or Scantek and others..can
upon acceptance, have access to the up to date EbD curricula, online standards based pre and post tests and eventually professional development.
Additional EbD Curricula Info can be obtained at www.iteea.org
If you have any questions or concerns, then for sure please contact me at your earliest convenience.
This is important work to get up to date curricula into the hands of our NYS tech. ed. teachers that want it or need it.
Thanks for your support with this important effort. Engineering by Design (developed by Technology and Engineering
Educators and professors across the country) has the full endorsement of NYSTEEA.
Best to All,
Chuck

TACNY ~ Celebration of Technology Awards Banquet
Congratulations to Howie Hollander and the TACNY "Celebration of Technology Awards Banquet" committee for a very successful event held on this past Monday, September 19th. The evening saw many excellent displays, including CNS High School (Marty Miner & students) with their Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car, Henninger/Lincoln City School's STEM Rocketry Club and our own CNYTEEA Display. As most of you know many of our members are also TACNY members and quite of few have been very active in the leadership of the organization, Vern Tryon, Tom Frawley, Steve Poydock and currently Joey Pesce to name a few.
Their Keynote speaker, Deanne Bell, was outstanding! She is a true engineer who has made her fame with her hosting of many television series, including the current ESPN show, Rise Up. Deanne & Howie traveled across the entire region visiting various Technology Education programs (Lincoln Middle School, D.S. Ray Middle School, Cazenovia High School and ESM High School). She was outstanding during her visit to Ray and was a tremendous role model for our female students!
Here is a link to one of the Syracuse Post Standard articles about her visit to Lincoln.

SURVEY SAYS: 2010-2011 CNYTEA & NYSTEA Membership
Membership in both our local and state was down this past year. Even though our CNY region had the largest NYSTEA membership in the state, our numbers were down. Nearly 20% of those that were not members selected that they missed the Steak Roast. Or they then got too busy with their school business that they never bothered to send the check. This is understandable, but this oversight cannot continue if we are to stay viable in the eyes of the Regents Board.
The encouraging bit of news is that almost all of those who did not join last year to plan on attending this fall's "75th Anniversary Celebration & Annual Steak Roast" on September 14th, 2011 AND do plan joining the local & state associations. We will be reminding eveyone with e-mails, the blog and we will send ONE LETTER (with membership form) in the mail during the summer. Being an optimist.... I do feel a slight pulse ;-)!
SURVEY SAYS: 2011~2012 Dues should be:
$10 ~ 20%
$15 ~ 14.3%
$20 ~ 42.9%
$25 ~ 28.6%
The results indicate that the dollar amount for the local dues wasn't a big issue for most that participated. I'll talk to some of the state leadership and with our Treasurer, Paul Mizer, and we'll come up with something that will be a bit different that was has been offered previously. I'll try to provide you all with a new CNYTEEA/NYSTEEA membership form BEFORE THE END OF THE SUMMER.

Chris Hurd's Most Excellent Summer Vacation Adventure
In a recent e-mail, Cazenovia High School Technology Teacher & our 2011 "Teacher of the Year" sent this message:
For those of you who didn't know; sorry, it all happened pretty quickly, I am going to British Columbia to make some videos for PLTW CIM at a Mountain bike manufacturing facility called Straitline Components. Ever see "How It's Made" on the discovery channel? Just like that, except about Manufacturing Processes.
Below are the links to my blog on chrisandjim website and I hopefully will be updating it daily with pictures and video of the factory and processes that go on in it. My students are looking forward to the updates.
This is where I'll be adding updates:
This one explains what's going on:
I'm a little nervous, and very excited!
Feel free to pass this on and I will see you when I get back!

NY Electrathon Challenge at the Glen ~ Huge Success!
Four teams from Central New York (Auburn, Baldwinsville, Cazenovia & Cicero North Syracuse) competed against teams from as far away as Canada and Maine. Fifteen teams from around the northeast came to The Glen to race in the first ever Electrathon event at the fabled speedway; it even drew the world record holder from Maine: C. Michael Lewis who came in first. The event was the first ever at the famous Indy/NASCAR road course, and those CNYTEEA members that came really made it an event to remember for over 500 people. KUDOS to our Region's Teacher of the Year, Chris Hurd (Cazenovia Technology Education), for all his hard work in getting this event on track! They are planning on racing two times next year. In the fall at Oswego Speedway and back at Glens Falls in the Spring. Check out the offical website for the results, videos & photos! http://nyelectrathon.com/
