Network with other children's program providers and discuss
strategies for bringing space science to children on this board.
Share successful programming ideas or models to help inspire
others! I have been able to develop a partnership with the Meigs
County schools. We will present a weekly afterschool program at
each of our county's elementary schools for ten weeks beginning
October 5th for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students. The middle
school and high school science clubs will provide student
volunteers to help me with the program. The local energy
cooperative has donated $1000 to be used for purchasing
materials to be used in the program. Several astronomy outreach
programs have agreed to send presenters, including a solar
astronomy outreach program (www.charliebates.org) from Atlanta.
They will be bringing 9 solar telescopes to the school for us on
October 12th. We are all excited about starting this in Meigs
County. I hope everyone else from the workshop has great success
establishing an "Explore" program i
