It was such a pleasure to meet & spend time with you all last week. Special thanks to all my "lab partners" -- you all rock!
If youhad provided me with your contact information, you should have received an emailed invitation from me last week to be added to the Central Coast STEM Education Collaborative wiki. (Please let me know if you didn't receive this invite & wish to be added.)
Now that you are on the wiki, I thought you actually might want to add (if you wish) any of the contact info on the first page of the wiki, as well as your listed interests, etc -- rather than have me do it, which was my initial vision.
ALSO -- Below is information on the next meeting of the Central Coast STEM Education Collaborative -- Aug 10, 6-8pm, Exploration Station, Grover Beach.
Please note that the description of the group and the task force foci are all up for revision, as the collaborative is just emerging & defining itself. I think and hope it might turn into a terrific resource for us all.
best,
jane
