his talk will cover ideas on balancing the rigor of formal process controls with the creativity needed for new product innovation.  How do teams develop and maintain an active process for evaluating emerging and adjacent technologies and how these technologies can be incorporated into both existing and new products.

There are two key ingredients for success in this area.  One is on the organization framework with establishing clear development and research processes and expectations.  The second aspect is motivating the team and giving them the tools to succeed.  While specific approaches and tools depend greatly on the specific technology and company culture, there are several global considerations that a successful team needs to align on.  These include areas like why have development strategies in place, how to drill for new ideas, and what are the signs of issues lurking.

The goals of the Beaverton-Hillsboro Expo are as diverse as our students' talents and abilities. We provide a venue for showcasing the work of our top science and math students across the districts. We encourage and maintain a climate of academic risk and proficiency that allows these students to reach their potential in the areas of science, engineering, and mathematics. We foster a sustained program of success for our participating students that will generate a ripple effect of excitement for these subjects across all of our eleven high school campuses.

Through generous support from Intel (intel.com) and Vernier Technologies (vernier.com), we are able to provide staff development for our teachers, exciting events for our students, and financial support for economically disadvantaged participants. Intel's support has allowed Beaverton and Hillsboro to begin district-wide K-12 expos last year as a precursor to this year's ISEF-affiliated event for our high school students. Additionally, the technical support and experience of NWSE have allowed both districts to move quickly and with confidence toward our expo goals.

The day-long event is open to the public and features several great events in one spectacular science showcase: a regional high school ISEF exposition, a visit from a distinguished scientist, our Hands-on Children's Discovery Center, and primary/middle school science fairs. Each year we host a distinguished scientist who is our guest for the day, delivering the evening's keynote address. We will be announcing the name of this year's keynote speaker in January.

The goals of the Symposium are:

1. To provide opportunities for our talented students to compete internationally & be recognized for their achievements in science, math & related fields.
2. To create opportunities for scholarships.
3. To engage students in dialogue with practicing scientists.
4. To encourage our students to embrace math and science as career goals.
5. To enrich our business community with high achieving students focused on math & science.
