One nature shot, followed by another.
This one just happens to be really, really bad. But the colours are nice, so I'm going with it.
I followed the bee around for a little while, but then I got bored, so I only have a couple shots of him in the air... though they aren't that special, either. This was mostly an exercise in how the ND filter works during the middle of the day with a larger aperture. Always thinking ahead!

The Rando frame accepts a quill stem, so I could have gone with a much simpler looking fixed-angle stem (common on "ten-speeds" of the 80s and 90s), but I rather like the look of VO's threadless stem, and the flexibility to have a higher bar for a more casual ride position. This 90mm 17-degree stem is attached to a VO Threadless Stem Adaptor.

Students at NT elementary were visited by a number of STEM Experts in a variety of fields. Different grade levels have different experiences and projects. We were also joined by Iowa's Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.
SMASHfestUK 2018: FLOOD! returned to its home community - Deptford – for a glorious, 5-day FREE festival from 12th-16th February 2018. An enormous mash-up of immersive experiences, comedy, experiments, games, art, music, den-building, storytelling and much, much more for all ages, it was the biggest festival yet, with audiences up thy over 30% on 2107.
Here are pictures from the Deptford Lounge Venue. Check out the full line-up at: smashfestuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/2018FLOODPROG.pdf
This year - Deptford was at risk of a big FLOOD! Climate change had driven a huge storm surge frown the North Sea. What would happen if the Thames burst its banks and Deptford became submerged? How would we survive? How could we escape? If Deptford turned into wetlands - what would we live in? What food would we live on? And if we got into seriously deep water and the whole Earth was under threat - could we find another home somewhere living in space?
This year’s activities included interactive science sand-pits, games, demonstrations and experiments, a sensory room, virtual reality space tours, a murder-mystery court case, a game of infective detectives, den-building, variety performances, opportunities to “meet the mosquitoes”, build your own hologram, our inspiring, family-friendly play, Cosmic Jives and much much more.
Last year, SMASHfestUK 2017: SUPERVOLCANO was a huge success, entertaining nearly 2000 people over the course of the half-term holiday. Back for 2018, we were even bigger and better than before!
SMASHfestUK is a STEM/Arts (STEAM) organization, festival series & movement founded in 2015 with the aim of widening participation & increasing diversity (gender, ethnic & socio-economic) in STEM & the Arts education and professions, & increasing social inclusion in undeserved communities, underrepresented groups, in neglected areas. SMASHfestUK couldn’t do what we do - FOR FREE! - without the amazing support of our visionary partners and funders. Around SMASHfestUK we’ve created a new way of bringing together funders, universities, community groups, schools, industry and cultural institutions and connecting them meaningfully with neglected communities. We’ve been touring the UK through 2017 with our SOMUCH/Earth and Sky Tour, building new collaborations and creating positive impact - building STEM and Cultural Capital (STEAM Capital) with underserved groups and underrepresented people, in areas with multiple indicators of poverty. WE THANK YOU ALL! AND HOPE YOU”LL CONTINUE WITH US ON OUR JOURNEY - FIGHTING FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION AND EQUITABLE OPPORTUNIES FOR ALL in STEM and the Arts.
These students from Kashmere, North Early College, and Wheatley High Schools worked in cooperative groups to solve a real world problem. Each group of 3 to 4 students posed as an engineering firm that would submit a robotics solution to a geophysics problem. Teams used the LEGO Mindstorm NXT robot to design a vehicle that could climb to the top of a Mountain to retrieve rocks that stored energy. Their vehicle should be able to climb the mountain and continue its motion as the slope of the mountain increased. The team whose robot climbed the highest would win the bid with my company.
Recognizing the growing need for college graduates from the fields of science, health science, technology, engineering and mathematics, Bloomsburg University's College of Science and Technology is establishing a regional center for math and science education to address this need through a wide range of programming. bloomu.edu/stem
