The
2009 Forecaster Session
We're toying with something
big and bold for 2009 - four 3 week educational blow-out sessions
starting in May 2009. Right now we're thinking of May 26-June 12,
June 15-July 3 and July 13 to 31. We could do one in August, but fees
would have to be paid this year.
It will be for college juniors, seniors and post grads. We'll bring
in meteorologists with at least 15 years of experience, and for six
weeks we'll unleash our wisdom using realtime weather events and case
studies.
We're thinking of having 6 or 7 hour days, four or five days a week.
The brainpower won't be cheap to bring in, so the cost may be on the
order of $750 to $1,000 a week for the six weeks. Housing will be
roughly $150 a week for an upscale hotel room or $250 a week for an
apartment.
But, we think we might be able to offer a scholarship for the top
two students - $10,000 to the university of their choice.
Again, its all in the
planning stage. Let us know if you might be interested at metcenter@rapidwx.com
and include "Weather Throwdown" in the subject line.
"Throwdown: 2. verb - to make something happen in a big
way. to perform well, brilliantly, with virtuosity. "
