The 2017 papers focusing on “The World in 2050” (Click here) were due in April and are now being evaluated by Committee on Education for award during World Standards Week — October 16-20 in Washington D.C.  (Click here).  In the intervening time, it is not too soon for educators to present this opportunity to students.   During its May 22nd meeting, the ANSI Committee on Education discussed multi-media possibilities for the student “paper” competition.    More information on this possibility, and how to become involved, is available from Lisa Rajchel (lrajchel@ansi.org) and Monte Bogatz (monte.bogatz@iampo.org).
