Hello all. Just thought I would share this. I signed up for my daughter.
Sparks Across America (at the Roger Williams Zoo)

Created at the Bronx Zoo ans supported by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Sparks (Supporting Parents in Advocacy, Reform, and Knowledge in Science) program targets middle school parents and uses the rich resources of the Roger Williams Park Zoo to excite you about your children's science education. Sparks introduceffective teaching methods to parents who then serve as educational advocates in their homes and communitues. Leadership workshoops, family science fairs at the zoo and an activity book full of projects to do with children at home help to reinforce fundamental science concepts. There are two workshops to attend and the science fair.

The first workshp is March 8. There will be one more and then the science fair. They do pay you a small stipend. $25 per training and $25 for the fair. They also feed you lunch etc.

I have the contact info if you are interested. I also have a mini van if anyone would like to carpool. :) Kris
