Last year, I organized a Saturday Science Carnival at my neighborhood
elementary school. That experience brought back for me the realization
of just how MUCH I enjoy creating hands-on activities for kids to share
with their parents, and to have a fun time learning new things.
I think I'm going to do it again next year. This time I will start
earlier (like, right now) with the planning, because it got a bit hectic
toward the end!
I'm also now looking for some kind of sponshorship, so that I can do the
same thing on a wider scale. Starting with the REST of my local
elementary schools, and growing outward from there.
There's so much to do! And it's so much fun!

Creating a science center out of whole cloth has proven to be too big a
job for little me. My focus right now is to develop plans for a touring
science show. This is not a new idea for me, I have notebooks full of
ideas, sample scripts, apparatus designs and so on.
But I think it's time to start anew. One of the catalysts for this has
been my daughter's ability to make friends among the movers and shakers
of our small community. She made good friends with our mayor, and she
counts at least one county supervisor among her contacts.
So, taking a page from her playbook, I've become much more active in
presenting my ideas and meeting people. Here's to a big change and
redirection....
Do you have any suggestions?
Or do you want to be involved directly? Person-power is definitely needed!
