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 is good friends now 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....

What I Still Need to do:

• Make contacts. Figure out who would pay to have a science presentation at their school. Probably PTAs to start with.
• Participate. There are science nights at our local schools. i can start by bringing my "stuff" to these events on a voluntary basis. Then build my reputation as a local science resource.
• Plan. Figure out what "stuff" could provide the most excitement. My giant electrostatic generator? A super-jumbo Fresnel lens? My telescope?

Do you have any suggestions?

Or do you want to be involved directly? Person-power is definitely needed!
