We’ve been busy. I mean, really busy – and this is a very, very good thing! I was catching up on some record-keeping this morning. So far this semester (Fall 2013), ACCHaoS has made five school visits to four schools, and attended three public events – two Star Parties, and a Back to School Night that Paul did all by himself! This translates into about forty-three hours of direct contact, and sharing science with a little over 1, 300 kids and adults. We’re not done yet – we still have one more school visit before Winter Break. The fun won’t stop there – we have full calendar for Spring 2014! Let the wild science rumpus begin!
Take a look at these photos – you can see why it has been a blast!
