Great Butterfly Ornithopter class at Twin Cities German Immersion School. And the birthday boy got a copy of our first book, "Tyronne Carter Kid Scientist" as well as a paper rocket!

Dr. Fun demonstrates the principle of Bernoulli's Law to students at this past week's SWWC Science & Nature Conference at Southwest State University. The students then put it into practice, assembling & flying their own Starfighters! One student in each class also won a free copy of our original children's STEM book, "Tyronne Carter Kid Scientist."

Bee-Bot(R) fun at Lincoln Center Elementary! We also donated a copy of each of our children's books to the school. You can find the books on our website www.americasfunscience.com: "Tyronne Carter Kid Scientist" and "Girls Know STEM Too, Tyronne!" (the latter is bilingual English/Spanish).

Dr. Fun brought the STEM fun to Hancock Public School with our 45-minute science assembly, followed by some Slime Table Fun, a book reading and paper rocket launching! A great afternoon for these kindergarteners and second graders! And we donated one copy of our original children's book, "Tyronne Carter Kid Scientist," to the school so everyone can have a chance to read it.

Our "Dino Digging Paleo Fun" class was a hit with kindergarteners at Lincoln Center Elementary!
