Title: Off topic, Education Outreach stuff I get to do.
Post by: madsci1016 on April 01, 2011, 07:38:41 PM

So I love getting kids interested in science, and my job with the government give me all sorts of opportunities to do so.

The latest and greatest is a show I helped produce and star in for local elementary schools. We had our first show, and here's some pics and videos:

and I created a portal for the show we hope to expand into a resource for students and parents.

We are still just out of the starting gate, so it's all a bit rough.

Maybe I'll be able to build a robot for the show, but it's hard to come up with one suitable for stage life.

Did I mention I love my job?

BTW, it doesn't seem to work in firefox. Try IE or Chrome.
