Just a quick blip to let you know that I’ve been so excited with my new ‘baby’ – the eScience program – that it’s completely been taking up all my time!! I’ve been doing a brain-dump of everything I know about teaching science as well as the subject areas, and it’s turning into the science program that I would have wanted as a kid. But it’s had it moments, like:

I really don’t know if it’s a good idea to teach quantum mechanics to kids, but I’ve gotten so many requests for parents to ‘up the ante’ and make our programs something their older kids can use that I really took it to heart, and have now expanded what we teach to include two more scientific principles. (There are 18 scientific principles in the field, ten of which kids need to know and understand before they hit college. Well, maybe now more like 12…) We’re currently test-driving these new classes out before we present them to you to work out all the bugs – and boy, has that been fun (I’ll tell you about the hole in the roof later…)

Anyway, I promise to write more in this blog soon, especially now that we’re rounding toward the science fair project season and gift-giving season and back-to-school season…!!! I have been working on the SFP blog if case you want to check it out… more soon!
