If you are interested in helping children discover what science is all about, I'd like to invite you to sign up as a Scientist-By-Mail? Science-By-Mail is an innovative problem solving program that was established by the Boston Museum of Science in 1987. The program brings together children and scientists in a pen pal program that focuses on the solving of 3 science challenge packets a year. The subjects of the packets range from designing methods of waste management in a space station to learning about the physics of ice cream. We are looking for scientists who are interested to providing constructive and supportive responses to children are trying to make sense of the world around them. Currently there are over 3000 children and 350 scientists. We are presently expanding and are looking for scientists from around the world. Be, Jersey City, New York City, Charlotte, Boston, Louisville, and Kansas City. We are also looking for scientists in the UK for our chapter in Derry, Northern Ireland. Future chapters include Georgia, Texas, and New Zealand. If you are interested, send me a note with your (street) address. I will forward an application. Please pass on this note to anyone who you might be interested and would enjoy corresponding with children ages 9-14. We also have applications for student participants who can sign up on with their friends, family, classmates, or by themselves. Thanks, Stephen Brand Head of Public Outreach Museum of Science Science Park Boston, MA 02114 (617) 589-0439 (800) 729-3300
