Noel Night Labs

[Laurie Catey]

Happy Holiday Season, everyone!  Once again, the Green Garage is going to participate in Noel Night on Saturday, December 3. We thought it would be fun for the Labs to do something to add to the festivities. So, I wanted to send this out to ask for any ideas you might have for what we could do. We're just brainstorming, so the sky is the limit...even if its something silly or an incomplete thought, we'd love to hear any ideas out there!  Thank you!!

Hello Chief and Fellow MADD Scientists!

Last year at Noel Night we had Jeff Sturges bring his bike setup. You will probably remember it, you peddle the bike and power a light bulb. Jeff is planning to set this up again for us. If you DON'T want the bike this year, let me know so Jeff can take it to another venue.

Tom Brennan suggested that we have a laptop running the building control system, showing photos of the trash audit, etc.

I think we should have another People's Choice vote, this time with Noel Night attendees as electors. Also, we should think of something we can do with/for kids but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.

Are any of you planning to be at the GG for the event? I'll be there but probably in more of a "crowd control" capacity.

Yours,

Kirsten

Hello Fellow MADD Scientists,

I am planning on being at Noel Night this year.

People enjoyed the bike last year  - I vote Jeff sets up the bike again.

Can't think of an activity for the kids at the moment but would they enjoy meeting the worms? I will also give more thought to an activity.

I think folks would be interested in the building control system.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Great input on Noel Night! I think we are a go for Jeff and his bike, the controls system demo demo, and photos on our experiment results to date. I will be at GG for Noel Night also.

I was thinking of bringing in a flat screen monitor to make the controls system and photos a little easier to see than just on my laptop. I don't know if it would be dark enough to see a projector, but I also have a screen and projector that could be used. Have any plans been made on where to stage this?

I'm intrigued by the worms idea for kids. Thinking about that, the coolest thing I have seen in Marsha's worm factory is when we had a banana that had gotten too far gone to eat, she put the whole thing in. The next time I saw it, there was a swarm of worms in banana shaped formation covering it so you couldn't even see the banana. It was very cool and recognizable. I don't know how active the worms are being in their new home, but maybe we could plan our lunch on Friday to provide some interesting composting to kids on Saturday. Also, if we do show off the worms, where should it be located so that it doesn't cause too much of a bottleneck in the greenhouse?

Any other brainstorms on kid-type things during the holiday break?

I'm meeting with Jeff at noon today.  Do you want me to ask him at that time?

Hi, 

Jeff should be all set as I asked him a couple of months ago. A reminder would be helpful, however. I will email him today also to confirm.
