Ive been busy with more outreach programs.
The first was in Buckeye, AZ for the Buckeye Air Fair/SciTech Festival. This event smashes a science festival with an airshow promoting many branches of science. My outreach group Focus headed out there for the event. During this we talked to about 1000 people and handed out 600 pairs of solar glasses before noon!

The second event which was just this past weekend was the Monrovia High School Science Expo. This event took place in Monrovia, CA which is about 30 minutes east of Los Angeles near the base of Mt. Wilson. The event is put on by the schools Math and Science Academy to promote science in the community and school. This year they hosted a robotics based event, memebers of local science based groups attended. Also local RC aircraft makes as well as the local astronomy clubs. Focus was also there promoting solar astronomy, we then moved into the night showing Jupiter and several deep space objects. Pictures can be see here: Monrovia High School Science Expo.
