First Day of Summer Engineering Academy

Daang. They're VERY smart.

I'll have to re-write the course for the higher level; I went to go through the water cycle, and they were all pretty much able to recite the whole thing.

Woo. Might be rough tomorrow, should be better on Wednesday as I get up to speed.

No W/A; not much loss, as they'll be undermanned and we won't.

Is this at HTHB, or the other summer teaching thing you had lined up?

HTH starts next week

This is Summer Engineering Academy at San Jose State, which is for Middle School students. They don't get in unless a math or science teacher wrote a letter for them.

With no W/A, should we try to get the STC session rescheduled?

Glad you're finding good students. Should make the summer fun.

Glad you found some kids that will be up for a challenge this summer! Go you!

Sorry to hear that you won't be at W/A...we won't either...too much packing to do! If you get bored and want to help, give us a call! (Although I highly doubt that you ever get bored).

HUGS!

*wave*

Friended you! Lovely to meet you and put a face with the name...even though you kept changing your headgear and showing up in different contexts just to confuse me. The sizer (sp?) was LOVELY, btw.

Harro!

Name, face, drink--all good! Alas, I won't see you at the War, but that's the breaks.

It's spelled Cyser, and is from Rabbit's Foot Meadery in Sunnyvale--they're on the web, and Thorfinn works there.

:)!

Alas, no war for me either - came down to visit you all at Crown instead, so now I must pay the piper.

But thanks for the hot tip on the cocktail...I must seek out more of that divine elixir....

Eeeeeehhxcellent, Smithers!

Better smart interested kids than brain-dead numb nuts! Sounds like fun to mess with they leetle heads! ;)
