Pizza and Programming

We spend the early afternoon at a programming party today. Both teams worked very hard perfecting and building their runs. Our mentor, Coach Jamie, came down to lend a hand. The Mazzie family built the second board and planned the whole day for us. The kids enjoyed pizza and programming.
The girls perfected their runs, and the boys have three almost four missions completed. It's a good start. Time is quickly ticking away until our first event.

Afterwards some of the team headed to a corn maze. $30 dollars, and 7 minutes later they found their way out. What do you expect when you ask a few code crackers to solve a puzzle.. Regardless, we are always proud of our team. Great job kids.


We'll forge ahead on Wednesday!!

Borough Approval for Project

The Conyngham Borough Council unanimously voted for our project to be approved! They are very excited and impressed with the kiddos plan "Mystery at the Watershed". 

Earlier in the week we submitted a proposal. The council members had a copy to review at their closed session. We attend the board meeting and they seemed very excited about our project. They have been nothing but supportive and helpful to our team. We are so very thankful for their support.

We will be very busy the next few weeks pulling everything together. Can't wait to share more with you!

Learning from the experts!

Last night our team learned more about the human water cycle and the impact we have on the Susquehanna watershed! Did you know our community can impact the quality of our local streams with construction, agriculture, and even leaving grass clippings on sidewalks or roadways? 

A big thank you to the friends of the nescopeck and pennsylvania steward, Mr Leander, for taking the time to research our project and sharing his knowledge with us!

I know it was a late night for you kiddos. Thank you for listening, absorbing new information, and being respectful. There is always room to grow and hopefully you can now choose the 5 areas of awareness we need to develop our interactive scavenger hunt around.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend and can get some rest!
