The end of the school year

We are getting ready to end out the school year with the ALA kids working on a project of their choice. We will be giving them a chance to explore any of the technology we have worked with all year long and be as creative as possible. Tuesday May 3 i will be looking at project proposals so that they can start working on wednesday. The Students are also going to be signing up for our institutes we are running with new engineering friends from IBM. I will be interviewing some of the students next week for a possible position helping us teach our Museum School classes in July. THose classes will be a week on chain reactions and crickets, another week on crickets and sound sculptures, and the last week on MicroWorlds. After tomorrow i will post information about what exact projects the students will attempt. The Art cycle kids are preparing to go to radio shack's STORE ONE on May 20th. they will be talking to people at the opening of the store about their work as well as the Design IT program. May 16th Saafir and i will be showcasing Design IT at the 2005 Arts Council meeting. May 17 and 18 i will be taking some of the ALA students with me to do the WATERAMA event here in Fort Worth, and I'm working on a presentation that will include an explanation of water's electrostatic tendencies and i want to use the ice theramin program with the crickets and MIDI boards to show to the school groups.
