Hi All,
On Saturday, April 2nd at 3:00 PM we are doing an outreach event with the Champaign Public Library. We have the space for about 45 minutes to perform an interactive experiment with the kids. This event will mainly be in English, but we will need Spanish speaking volunteers as well to translate. If you are interested in the event, please put your name down in the following google doc.

Additionally, for those interested in taking part of the planning of the lesson, collecting materials, testing out experiments and finalizing preparation, indicate so in the google document. We have a lot of freedom in terms of what we want to do so it should be fun to plan.
Thanks,
Alex Palmer
