Hello! We are moving along with our SSEP group projects. We are going to need our tri-fold boards this week so if you are still thinking about donating a board or two, please do! I would suggest asking your student what experiment they are proposing to test in microgravity. Reminder: Space Night is REQUIRED for every 6th grade science student.
