A quick reminder that we meet Saturday as the last meeting of the semester. It's going to be a good one with a group of Tucson astronomers who have an education program and would like to come into more classrooms.
Representatives of the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association (TAAA) will talk about what they have done with BASIS in the last three years, and what they can offer for your school. They have some great educators and fantastic equipment, and they are hoping to increase their outreach. Attending will be Dr. Jim Heasley, who is a retired University of Hawaii Astronomy professor, and Mike Magras, who has been working with the BASIS schools. It will be super interesting and useful.
We meet at 8:30 am for potluck breakfast and meeting at J.D. Garcia's house (directions attached). If you can't manage to bring a breakfast dish, don't worry about it, we always have plenty. I know it's a busy time of year, but it would be great if we could have a good number of people to see what the TAAA can offer.
Hope to see you all there!
Karie Meyers, Ph.D.
