Helpers needed for Eanes Science Night!

Science Night is just around the corner (Wednesday 2/7) and I need help!

I’ve got great notes from last year and we can break the work into small parts. Each of these jobs is less than 4 hours total. If you did something last year, you have dibs on doing it again this year.

Getting Ready:

  1. Presenter Contacts - 3 volunteers to line up presenters. This is a FUN job. I have a list, but you’re welcome to add to it!
  2. Signs - certificates for 5th graders, signs at the event (I have templates)
  3. Publicity - this one is mine :)
  4. Optional - get Food donations for presenters.

Evening Of:

  1. Setup - 2 volunteers from 5 to 6.
  2. Tables - 5 volunteers for the blimp, electric circuits, hands-on (bridges, penny boat, etc), 2 floaters
  3. Clean-up - 2 volunteers from 8 to 9
  4. pick 2 of the above :)

I’ll be notified if you post a comment to this entry.

Thanks. Rob

PS: If you help setup or run tables at the event, we’ll feed you!

Caving Photos

I’m still collecting photos, but here is our current album (requires flash).

Eanes Entries for Regional Science Fair

We’d like to send a team to this year’s Austin Energy Regional Science Fair. The fair is open to all grades and we can send up to 12 students. Our hope is that some 5th grades will extend their Science Night project to be an entry for the Fair. Students in other grades are encouraged to participate.

We’re using the 12/17 Baking Science Meeting to organize for the Science Fair. The timing is tight and we are hoping that people can get started picking out projects and doing research over the holidays.
Sarah Swanson and I have volunteered to coach a team from Eanes. Just comment on to this post or contact us directly if you are interested.

Baking Science: Sunday 12/17 @ 2-4 PM

We’ll host the Baking Science meeting at my house (4900 Timberline Dr) from 2 to 4.  If possible, bring a $5 for supplies, a mixing bowl, mixer, and baking sheet.  This experiment is LOTS of fun and you’ll be surprised at the results.

We’ll also be talking about Science Fair and Science Night.
