4A Daily News – Friday, March 2, 2012 Education in Tehama County KEEP ON LEARNING Student seeks votes Special to the DN Brian Harms, a 2011 graduate in Architecture from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and 2006 gradu- ate of Red Bluff High School, has submitted his senior thesis project to a competition spon- sored by the design website suckerPUNCH- daily.com. Harms is son of Kurt and Lisa Harms of Red Bluff. Visitors to the web- site may vote for their favorite American stu- dent project from the past school year. Ten winners will be exhibited at the Land of Tomorrow Gallery in Kentucky in September 2012, and three will have portions of their projects prototyped at full scale to be displayed at the exhibition. Online voting is currently open and will remain open till Sunday March 4. "My thesis involved the reconsideration of the role of robotic technology within the factory," says Harms. "The project is a flexible robotic manufac- turing plant located at the edge of the Port of Los Angeles adjacent to San Pedro. It aims to rethink/reconfigure/ redesign this production-ori- ented technology in a way that allows the factory's program, atmosphere, and physical presence to be constantly renegotiated by the same technology it houses." Harms Harms and friend Keith Bradley also designed a lunar stadium for the Shift Boston Moon Capital competition in 2010. The design was published in Scientific American, CNN, and several european design magazines. Most recently the design was featured in a french children's magazine. Harms is currently living in Los Angeles, where he is employed at the architecture firm of Griffin Enright Architects.

The educators are partic- ipants in a six-week pro- fessional development program, Teaching Excellence and Achieve- ment (TEA). The Office of Interna- tional Education (OIE), California State Univer- sity, Chico is hosting the teachers of English as a Foreign Language through March 19. The program is funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State and administered by the International Research and Exchanges Board. Diana Parks, recently retired from OIE, is the director of TEA.

"The TEA program positively impacts not just the participants, who are immersed in U.S. culture and society, but also our local schools and students," said Parks. The TEA teachers spend two of their six weeks partnering with a U.S. teacher in a local middle school or high Large Ham Steak Breakfast school. Following a recent program, a U.S. teacher reflected on the impact this partnership had on the students: "It was very beneficial for my students to see Mus- lims as friends and to have a safe opportunity to ask questions about a Muslim culture. I think it is important for all Americans to see the human side of the coun- tries which are in the news." People-to-people pro- grams not only benefit U.S. relations with other countries, but also rela- tions among the partici- pants. "I love witnessing the bonding that occurs among the participants in all of our groups," said Parks.

The world becomes a smaller and more personal place for them." All of the teachers have higher education degrees in their coun- tries, but have had little or no travel outside of their countries, said Parks. "This is a highly competitive program and very prestigious in their country. When they return home each will be conducting workshops to share what they have learned here," she said. Served with
