Science Fairs

I enjoy helping young people discover the joy of doing science, and have volunteered for a number of local, regional, and international Science Fairs. As usual, have camera - will travel. And so, you may enjoy paging through some of these adventures of the mind and spirit.

Science Projects Opportunities

I love helping young people get excited about science. We have a well-equipped observatory on campus, in the last wilderness area on College property at the Aptos Campus. It's dark, without any interfering lights. We have a 12" telescope which has a great digital camera which takes color pictures. Stuudents can control the telescope and camera while sipping hot chocolate in the "warm room" in the captain's chair! Astronomy in general and Santa Cruz County astronomy (UCSC, Cabrillo) in particular has a dedicated commitment to increase the number of women in science and in astronomy. If you have a bright young student who wants to do a science project in astronomy, please contact me and I'd be happy to help him or her with their project.
