Time to play catch up

I apologize for the extended delay since the last post. Let me get you up to date!

Our spring semester was packed full of around two dozen schools, numerous Girls of Promise events, and even a few festivals. I want to say thank you to all the teachers and administrators that got in contact with us early - we appreciate your time and effort. Getting in touch with us far in advance gives us time to schedule the truck regionally within Arkansas week by week in order to save on fuel. For example, we were able to go to Hermitage, Norphlet, and Hampton in the same week saving us nearly 400 miles if we had to do them separately.

This summer we have been to partner museums, some teacher conferences/development sessions, as well as libraries. Derrick and I are in the process of sending out postcards to schools in counties we have not been to yet in hopes of expanding our exposure. We are also giving the worksheet and some of our exhibits a tune up. For example, the video inspection exhibit will have clean new slides available for the eager students this fall semester. The X-Y coordinate grid on the worksheet the students work on while on the truck has been revamped and is now more comprehensive.

As you can see, we are constantly working on improving the experience for our youthful explorers. Don't forget to check out our Flickr page - I will be adding some new photos in the near future.
