Re: [RE-wrenches] Solar Presentations for Kids

[Allan Sindelar]

We had one of those too, some years ago for solar fairs. Ours was homemade, with 8 little wands on a rotating disc that dipped into bubble solution and then rotated in front of the blower. Except that ours appealed to (most of the) adults as well as the kids, as we had pasted a photo of George W on the backboard and the fan blew out through his mouth.

I've been doing PowerPoint presentations and games in the past for these types of events, but I'm finding it a bit stale. Any ideas to create a little more excitement and wonder?   Jason Szumlanski Fafco Solar   _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
