Spent some time today helping youth Connect the Dots! Had a great time with @AuroraHuskies connecting with industry reps, learning about our skill set, and developing resumes. Always a pleasure working with polite, respectful, and open-minded youth! Thank you for hosting us!

The amount I've learned about weather and weather forecasting has already exponentially increased! Thank you to @1011_News @WxRentschler for coming out to present to our York Parks and Rec/Extension Science in the Sky camp! So excited to learn more!

Our STEM challenge is underway at YPR Science in the Sky camp. We are challenged to build a rover that would keep their "human" safe during a Mars landing.

I think the coolest part of the Look Who's Hatching project with the Kilgore Memorial Library is the livestream and being able to catch moments of a family watching an egg hatch from my office. What a cool moment!
