February Visit to Lincoln-Drew Elementary School in Compton
You may remember that about a month ago I mentioned a Compton Elementary school that blew me away when they came on field trips to the planetarium. Well, I've finally been in touch with the principal, Mr. Sanchez, and we're working on setting up a "Science Day" in early February (1st or 2nd). A number of GCC faculty volunteers, as well as a number of student volunteers will be heading down to talk science with some really bright and eager kids. Compton, as you know, is not know for it's wealth and opportunities, and anything we can give back will be most welcome, and *will* have a lasting effect.

I'll be heading down with solar telescopes and other demos (gas discharge tubes, the ingredients to make comets, etc...)

If you're interested in volunteering and joining in to "pay it forward!" please come and talk with me.
