Five years on the road

Thursday, June 4, 2009

Part of The Leonardo's mission is to provide curriculum support for public schools. The Leonardo on Wheels, a program operated in collaboration with our partner the Utah Science Center, brings hands-on science activities to between 8,000 and 10,000 junior-high and middle-school students throughout the state.

The week, the program celebrated its five-year anniversary! To celebrate, the outreach crew set up at the Salt Lake City Public Library in conjunction with Air Force Week.

They guided people through making the best paper airplane possible (including distance and hang-time contests!), explained the science behind bubbles suspended above dry ice, and allowed budding pilots to test out a flight simulator from Rockwell Collins, among other activities.

Happy anniversary! And thanks to all the great partners, sponsors, staff and volunteers who have helped make the program possible over the last several years!
