Ultra busy day… Come to think of it ultra busy week. I had a nice reprieve tonight when several colleagues from the Vermont Academy of science and engineering (VASE) STEM workgroup met at my house. VASE is a bunch of senior Scientists and engineers here in Vermont that are gathered together to do some good the world. Our stem group is trying to promote the engineering science math and technology careers in the students of Vermont. Last year we started a grants program for area schools. We gave about 12 grants two schools across the state to buy equipment for science technology and math outreach. Tonight we reviewed The results of those Grants and it was really great to see. Schools used our grants to buy optical benches, weather stations, 3-D printers, mathematics programs. We were able to read how those grants were able to enhance the science, technology and math training in schools across the state. Tonight's meeting was about planning the next years grant program. It will be fun to see what we can do this year.

I love the people in case. They've all been fairly successful and they all have a great passion for passing on their love of science and technology. I couldn't ask for a more aligned group of souls.

Nite all, nite sam
