TechKnowledgey inTechgration

Thank you so much for covering Tikatok on your blog in the past.  We have an upcoming event that I’m very excited about, and I thought you and your readers might be interested to hear about it.  We’re going to be at the MIT Museum on Sunday as part of the Cambridge Science Festival.  Kids who come by will be able to write books with help from a group of MIT students who are volunteering to act as “science advisors.” There will also be writing activities inspired by the cool exhibits at the museum, such as the “Robots and Beyond” exhibit and the recent exhibit of the futuristic architecture of Felix Candela.  We’re getting the word out by all of the relevant local channels, but we are also planning on opening the event as much as we can to online participants - we’ll be posting updates on our blog all day, inviting people to submit questions to the MIT scholars by email or Twitter, and generally showcasing as many drawings and cool science stories by kids as we possibly can.  Not a bad way to pass a Sunday afternoon, if you ask me.

Here is our blog post about the event.  We would be again very appreciative if you could pass it on to your readers.
