Camp Science Shows
This week I will be in Wisconsin performing for organized school groups at overnight nature camps in Wisconsin. These shows are an unheated auditorium with most of the students wearing sweatshirts and light jackets. After the show, the students get to learn about wolfs and wild animals. The nights end with a camp fire for the students. This is the second year of performing for these groups in Wisconsin and I will be performing science shows for them Monday – Thursday and a special show on Saturday night for a different group and at a different campground.
Michigan Science Assemblies
Getting Excited About Science shows are being performed for 3 important shows: Wayne State University (Women in Engineering Day), Michigan Math and Science Academy (Science Fair) and very Science Olympiad event at L’Anse Creuse High School.
These shows are for very large groups and 2 of them are repeat groups. I am bringing new demonstrations and the van is packed tight. Our shows will be in Cleveland later in March and back in Michigan in May. We will have several Michigan shows at libraries during the summer.

With the hard work of the parents and teachers we more than doubled the number of students participating. In addition, we had a great turn out for the actual science fair which included any student from the school, parents, siblings, and more. It was a “full house”.
This year I will be attending science fairs in many Midwest states.
Special week of science school shows
This next week I will be at many Catholic Schools. Over the week, I will be performing 10 different science shows across different schools.
