Science Week My Involvment this year

nightskysketcher.blogspot.com/



My Blog ( hit the link ) this month takes a little look at what I did during Science Week. For me was actually 9 days of talks and workshops (involving about 500 children and their teachers). I could not fit all that was asked of me into one week.

Actually I could not fit it all in one blog , so another will follow soon.

Once again you get the chance to send your name to Mars on Mars Science Laboratory .
A young child coined it very well indeed when he said to me during the week that it was like a time capsule , something for the future

I include just a few of the hundreds of drawings produced by children during my workshops.
The wonderful penultimate IYA 2009 What's Up for November is here as I always include it.


Also there are links to the amazing rovers NASA are developing for lunar and Martian exploration.The children loved the 24 ton Lunar Rover , and several drawings were produced.
