A post-College Royal thank you!


Phew! College Royal is OVER! Though I believe it is safe to say our exhibit was a smashing success! We could hardly pry the bottled-tornado out of the grasps of some kids and the floating orb demonstration caused quite a few "wows". People loved making fruit-batteries and becoming part of the circuit! And who doesn't love a little alien snot?! 

To our twelve fantastic College Royal volunteers (Miyuki, Sarah, Naheda, Cassandra, Kate, Chrissy, Jason, Nicole, Jacqueline, Ashleigh, Lois, and of course Linda), many thanks for helping us run such an awesome weekend! We truly couldn't have done it without you! I hope you all had at least half as much fun as some of those kids!

March was chalk full of activities, and we'd like to thank everyone who helped out with a school or community group visit. What a crazy March Break! There's still a month left in the semester and a number of big events coming up, but we've already reached nearly a THOUSAND kids + 500 adults since January 1/13. Wooohooo!

As Nancy, Amanda & I catch our collective breaths, April is rushing towards us and we have many requests from eager educators.  There are both local and rural requests coming up (including an event on the Chi Cheemaun ferry!) plus the All Science Challenge, and as always, we need your help to fill them. I know April can be a busy time for marking, but a few hours here or there will help us tremendously! Pretty pretty please! Check our Upcoming Activities tab at the top for volunteer opportunities.

xoxo
