Skype a Scientist is a nonprofit that matches scientists w/classrooms, scout troops, libraries, & more for Q&As!
In our annual fundraiser we make a map of the classrooms we served this year. Many regions are close to done. The West is just Cali w/19 bubbles, The South is just Georgia with 16 bubbles.
$10 donations fill bubbles and enable Skype a Scientist to match classrooms this fall!
