Summer 2006 Cross Country Trip

What an experience! We filled up the veggie oil tanks and went from Tucson to Boston and back. We spread our brand of science education and fun while also establishing bonds with the community of science educators across the country. We made appearances at science centers, schools and other stops on the drive east, with our final destination at the meeting of the American Association of Physics Teachers in Syracuse, NY. Please read our trip log to find out about the epic journey!

We would like to take a moment to thank our many sponsors without whom this trip would simply not have been possible. Companies across the country have jumped on board to offer their assistance, from the lettering on our bus to the oil in our engine to the wheels and tires and hotels along the way, thank you all for your contribution to science education!
