I've been piloting an after-school program, and its going really well. In another 4-5 weeks the first cycle will be done, and any sub owner who wishes to replicate it locally will be welcome to the materials. This is a chance to spread some good STEM motivation among young kids, and it also makes you some sub pocket money. Personally, I just find the kids' enthusiasm contagious and enjoy it as much as they do. This doesn't require advanced math and the materials have detailed speaker notes. Anyone who has build or operated their sub can consider themselves qualified to deliver it. </div><div><br></div><div>One thing I realized pretty quickly is that a web page is a necessity yet must be accompanied by social media activity to really make any contacts. Steve McQueen stepped forward and did lots of work to get us going. We now have LinkedIn and Facebook pages, and today I made the first of what should be a steady stream of posts. There will be info about the after-school program, technology updates to the subs, upcoming expeditions, etc. - I'll try to keep it going with an update roughly each week. But to get the word out, I must ask a favor. Please like, follow, and share those pages and posts! </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/11404926/">https://www.linkedin.com/company/11404926/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/INNERSPACESCIENCE/">https://www.facebook.com/INNERSPACESCIENCE/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Alec</div></div>
