We've been asked to run a booth at the Boys' Night Out event at the Science Center, Monday, March 7, 6 - 8PM. The hope is that we would run a booth similar to the one we presented at the Girls In Science fair at SCI.

I'm willing to be there, but am not willing to do it alone. Is anyone available to help run the booth? STEM education is part of our organization's purpose, and helping get kids excited about technology solidifies our long term ability to attract members. Those kids ain't going to be kids forever. Who is available and willing to help?

Thanks,
Tim

I can be there. Four people is plenty. Can we get two more volunteers?

One table. Our carrot piano and the line robot took up most of the space last weekend.

Thanks Eugen. We'll include you in further emails about the event.

Anyone else? We could use a fourth.

Is that a special Monday? Like a holiday Monday? If yes then a for sure for me. If not then a tentative yes for me.

I think it's a boring old normal Monday. Except if you join us you can watch kids be confused when you tell them there's no computer in the line following robot and their faces light up when they get to make music with vegetables.

Still need one person to commit to this. It's only 2 hours. Anyone interested?

I went ahead and promised that we will be there. For a two hour event, we can make do with three people. If anyone else is free and interested, though, we could use the help. Thanks!

Cool. Be there around 5:45 and be prepared to have fun with robots and carrots.

Please note that this is not at SCI, as I had previously thought. Got confirmation and more details:

Studebaker Elementary, 300 E County Line Rd, Des Moines

Setup: 5:30 - 6 (I'll get there around 5:45)

Event: 6 - 8
