Busy Summer 2013
This summer, Getting Excited About Science will travel to the U.P. of Michigan 3 times and will have shows in Ohio, Wisconsin and Illinois. On July 4th our show will be at 2 different festivals including one of the largest celelbrations in the state of Illinois with Lisle Eyes To The Skies. There will be many shows at libraries, park districts, schools, day care centers, camps and festivals. Looking forward to each and every one.
3 science shows per day
Today, I performed 3 shows at the same school. The next few days I will perform 1 show at 3 different schools. Busy week.
Minninsota STEM, Illinois Science Fairs and Earth Week
This week has seen Getting Excited About Science at several science fairs, STEM events and library shows. The week of April 15 has 11 science assemblies and the Earth week (April 22-26) is booked solid. Very exciting and challanging.
Hands On Science
This has been a busy week of hands on science with a special day at Bartlett Public Library. We had a sold out room of students. Thursday is an outing with Girl Scouts for a hands on science program. Lots of supplies are ready and I know the girls will be excited. Later this week are school shows, cub scout shows and library shows.
Illinois, Indiana and Michigan Science Shows
This is the busiest week of the year to date of shows. The entire month of Feb. just had a handful of off days. Getting Excited About Science will be presented at many schools across 3 states this week and will be performed at Wayne State University on Saturday as part of an engineering conference. Sunday includes a Scout Blue and Gold show. We have already performed for about 8 scout events this season.
Home School Science
Every year in addition to libraies, schools, scouts, fairs and park districts, we perform for organized home school groups. This Wednesday I will be performing a reapeat show for a home school group that had me 2 years ago. I always look forward to seeing these students and parents.
High School Science Assembly
Getting Excited About Science will be presented at Thorton Township High School this week. Each year we present show for a few high schools. Last year’s show was a great success and I look forward to the challange. Elephant toothpaste is a big hit here as well as the hovercraft, gyroscope and liquid nitrogen.
An update: The show went great and the school asked me to perform for them again next year (2014)
Forces in Motion
Spring 2013 will mark the 5th straight year Getting Excited About Science will be presenting Forces in Motion at Milne Grove School. The show is about simple machines and laws of motion and features many large scale demonstrations including the rocket car. Way to go Milne Grove (5 years).
