Tonight I did my 4th Jolts and Volts show of the year. It feels good to be back in that practice.
Tonight show was for the Technology and Design Governors Institute of VT (GIV). I’ve done this show for many years .. Its run by my friends Shannon and Robin.. Great students.. and many of them are kids of my friends.
Love doing this again !

Today we held an event with the Betakids.. aka kids of employees. We were testing out soem hands on exerises that we will do with orginzations like schools and places like King Street. We had Jeremy with the Toolbus there helping the kids cut out wooden badges. We then helped them solder together a battery and a blinking LED to allow each kid to make a cool blinking badge with their name on it. We also had activities around conductive playdoh . We had about 30 kids.. . It was fun and we learned lots of ways to make future events even better. It was great to have Finn and DIane there to participate and help out !
Canadian fires are still filling our air with smoke.. .. you could see it in the sunset
