Candidate Statement for Shelley Olds. I am honored to be nominated for the Education Committee chair position. My goal as chair would be to continue the openness and inclusivity that ESIP is known for. I envision raising the visibility of the education materials available from the members of the ESIP community through our Out to Lunch 10-minute data & tool explorations, updating the wiki area to provide links to materials, and to continue the Drones in STEM initiative to complete the eBook, enlist educators to test the activities in their teaching environments, and to opportunistically align and network with other groups and organizations who are doing similar activities.
