================================================================ 08/15/99 to 08/14/00: - Workshops: As mentioned elsewhere, the two workshops we host annually are a major component of our outreach activities. Based on our attendance lists, we seem to be achieving our goal of attracting people new to the details of speech recognition technology. - Undergraduates: We have been successful at recruiting more underrepresented groups to work in entry-level capacities as undergraduate hourly workers. ================================================================ 08/15/98 to 08/14/99: We normally invite high school students to participate in our research as part of a special program created with a local math and sciences school in our area. In the first year of this project, we had one high school student spend a semester programming a Java application. He was an outstanding student who actually produced useful code during his tenure in our group - one of our better experiences with high school students.
