On the tenth day of Newton,
My true love gave to me,
Ten drops of genius,
Nine sil ver co-oins,
Eight circling planets,
Seven shades of li-ight,
Six counterfeiters,
Cal-Cu-Lus!
Four telescopes,
Three Laws of Motion,
Two awful feuds,
And the discovery of gravity!
Today's meeting was a working research meeting, with club members breaking into focus groups to do a brief Internet search on one of the four projects under consideration, answering the questions:
Results will be posted on the club website for all to review and comment on over the next couple weeks. The club will reconvene after the holiday to further define these projects, secure funding, and determine a path forward on a project-by-project basis.
Next meeting will be Wednesday, January 6, at 3:10 p.m. in Room 3033.

Next meeting will be Wednesday, 12/16, at 3:10 p.m. in Room 3033. At this meeting, we will not have a formal demonstration or presentation, but instead will split into interest groups to do some basic Internet research, and reconvene at the end of the meeting to share what each group has learned.
Following brief introductions (name, background, why you're here), we talked about what we want to build our Xtreme Science Club into, and brainstormed what projects or activities we could undertake. Club members are going to think about which projects they're most interested in, and make a list of their top 3, which we'll take a look at for next week's meeting (Wednesday, 12/9, in Room 3033 at 3:10).
