Student Learning Conference Presentation Proposal Cover Sheet

Student Learning Conference Presentation Proposal Cover Sheet
This year will mark the 16th annual Howard County Gifted and Talented Student Learning Conference, a
day-long conference at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Kossiakoff Center in Laurel at
which students in the Intern/Mentor and Independent Research Programs have an opportunity to present the results
of their research and creative investigations with audiences of students and adults in the Howard County Public
School System. There will be several successive sessions occurring simultaneously, which will include 25-minute
oral presentations and 10-minute visual display presentations. Attendees will register their first, second, and third
choice of presentation to attend for every session. The conference will also include a performing arts session at
which current students in either the Intern/Mentor or Independent Research Program demonstrate their talents in
music, creative writing, dance, film, and other lively arts. Not all applicants’ proposals to present will be accepted.
The G/T Resource Teachers, as a committee, review applications and build a program that will include examples of
excellent student work and also enough variety so that sessions will offer something of interest to all attendees.
Presenting at an academic or professional conference is considered an honor. Getting accepted to present
can be extremely competitive. When adults update their resumes, they include all the conference presentations they
have made in order to demonstrate that they are influential leaders in their fields. Having your name published in a
conference program adds to your professional reputation, and the program, itself, can be included as an impressive
artifact in your portfolio.
Before you submit your proposal to your teacher, check your date book to determine if you are free to
present on April 25 and to attend the rehearsal on April 21 from 2:15 – 3:30 p.m. On the date of the conference, you
will be expected to arrive by car before the conference begins and to attend the conference until it ends (shortly
before schools dismiss.) Only those students who sign in the box below will be considered as possible speakers.
Presenting at a countywide conference involves a serious commitment, as students have registered for your session
and your name has been printed in the program. Once again, please do not submit a proposal unless you are
committed to presenting!

Make it look good and protect the environment too!
Briana Allen
Glenelg High School
Is there a way to design a building that is both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally
safe? The construction of home and businesses in America accounts for 39 percent of
our total energy use. Green architecture and design is a specific field that aims to create
the best products possible by using minimal amounts of energy, so that the environment
won’t suffer as much. This session will demonstrate how the concepts of green
architecture can be applied to designing a restaurant and there will be a demonstration
through a 3-D constructed model.
