Antici...pation.

It's 7:20 p.m. on a Tuesday night. Going about the business of cameras and posters in anticipation for WE's First Outreach at Stewart Elementary has seriously got me pumped.

B-Tran's POV. 

Creativity should be at an all-time high!

WE's got six experiments going on tomorrow at Stewart Elementary. At the same time! Yeah! Science. 

Shameless self-promoting on WE Sponsor Ms. Olano's board. Always.
Fascinated by bubbles/the blue Powerpuff Girl? Try out the Bouncing Bubbles station headed by Assistant PiE Lead Michael! Please don't drink the soap. 

You have a lemon tree in your backyard? Fantastic. Create a sour source of power over at the Lemon-Powered Battery group led by MESA Lead Thomas! The key? "They need to be really juicy." - Thomas J.

Finding yourself a little out of breath reading too hard? First, consult a doctor, and second, head on over to the Homemade Lung station led by the wonderful Vivanie! (But seriously, call 911.) 

Oh, man. You say your car battery's dead because you somehow left every single light on for a month? Wow. WE can't really help, sorry, BUT we have the Balloon-Powered Car station headed by Treasurer Neilson! Balloons can help out a gloomy soul... Doesn't help? ... It makes it worse? Oh. 

But who doesn't like strawberries? Am I right? Unless you're allergic, in which case I am sincerely sorry. Allergic or not, there's always the Strawberry DNA group of the evening. Literally see what makes strawberries how they are at this station led by the brilliant Katherine! 

Now, have you ever gone to Build-a-Bear Workshop? That cute little place where you customized your own little teddy-bear to say "I Love You!" against its will every time? Well, this is not it. The Build-a-Light Bulb experiment is being led by Secretary Jessa Dee!  

If you think I've seriously spoiled the following evening, you couldn't be more wrong. Not really. But that's no reason to not go. It's a wonderful, educational, and fun night of scientific shenanigans led by a group of way more high schoolers than you thought would be interested in science. Also, I'll be there. Duh. 

So, if you're reading this, by what is now 8:10 p.m. this same Tuesday night (I get distracted. Sorry.) I strongly recommend you attend WE Science Body's first Outreach of the year at Stewart Elementary down here in Pinole. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and ends at a modest, "school-night" time of 8:00 p.m. (As if high schoolers needed another excuse to not do math homework.) I anticipate your arrival, whether I know you or not. There is no entrance fee and all are welcome (except convicts and party-poopers, it's not super fun to end the night with sirens, people.) 

With that, goodnight, and I hope to see you there!
