We need to come up with a 4-to-8-line poem that best sums up our mission and work to compete for the CTK foundation grants up to $10K. And the best thing, the winner gets an original song based on the poem. I’ve ALWAYS wanted our own song.
We think the “pledge” below for our K-3rd graders written by our former program manager Kareen Wilkinson, whom many of you know and love, is a great start. But it takes a bit of tweaking. (Sorry, Kareen. And we do engineering too, so, em, that’s another challenge). Will you help us??
So here goes:
We are here today because science is FUN!
We are here to show that science is for ANYONE!
Any race, any age, boy OR girl!
Science answers questions we have about the WORLD!
We use our brains and our hands, and we get to make a BIG MESS! (more…)
