STEM/STEAM Outreach in Stockton

[William Litel]

Calling all scopes!

  We have an ask from the Stockton Unified School District to provide scopes for a STEM event at Commodore Skills School on 22 FEB @ 17:00-18:30.

  The school is located on the West side of I-5 at the corner of N. Ryder and Alpine. They will have 10 stations and they would like us to be one of those stations. The requestor mentioned there will be 200 +- attendee’s. Yes, there will be a full Moon, but we have filters for that and the Moon is cool 😎.

  Please let me know through this email chain, if you can help us help make this schools STEM event an even bigger success.

Thank you,

Hi Bill,

I checked out the 8" Coulter telescope so I can bring that (and maybe I will have time to try it out before then)...

Bill, if you have a couple of firm confirmations for volunteers on the 22nd count me as I will be there if at all possible. Email the guy and set it up if you are comfortable with the commitment. 

Frank &Darlene will be at the park on Saturday as will Mark.

Omar thinks he might make it.

Frank & Darlene are going to give us back the Striking Sparks scope.

They will leave it with you on Saturday night.

You can bring it to the shop or my house when I get back on Tuesday.

  I will notify the school that we’re in! We can always use the extra help if you‘re curious about these STEM out reaches. 

  It wouldn’t be for this particular event but in the future, I’d would like to see if we can get an individual who might simply walk about the scopes and interact with the crowds answering questions and shepherding the folks to scopes.

Dark skies,

Hi Bill-

I can bring my scope out for this event. It's near my home and the school I attended as a kid.

The actual address is 2725 Michigan Ave, Stockton. And is near the corner of Ryde and Michigan on the west side of I5.

Let me if I can help.

Hi guys, those are tough for me because I work in Alameda at the Coastguard right now. There’s no way I could make that one on time. But I’ll see you guys at the next Oak Grove star party. Clear skies.
