But before you think, "well, that was great! now back to the grind :( " It ain't over yet...
Every month we have SCIENCE DINNERS and you are invited! Think of it as a little bit of miniCAST every month. Our no-host dinners (no host meaning that you pay for your own food, we bring the speaker for free) are held at the Great American 701 S Mesa Hills Dr, El Paso, TX 79912. They will be held on or around the 2nd Wednesday of the month. I know, I know, we usually held them the last Wednesday of the month but we had to change the date this year. Tim and I are expecting our first grandbaby and Maxon's arrival date is scheduled for that last Wednesday of October... plus big CAST and Thanksgiving break are scheduled for the end of November, so to get the ball rolling we are moving our Science dinners to mid month.
We are expecting a list of great guest speakers for our dinners this year, including presentations about Augmented Reality in the Science classroom, "Dr. Skateboard" Bill Robertson who has written a new book, Geologist Anthony Alvarez, who will be speaking about the Geology of our very own Transmoutain area and a special $10.00 dinner at Tech2O!
You can make reservations for our Science Dinners at the miniCAST website. Science Dinners are kid and family friendly, so bring your family. We hold monthly door prize raffles for our teachers, last year's dinners averaged 700-$1000 worth of free science equipment and resources given to our teachers at each dinner. Hope to see you there!
