- Project Description:
From October 2009 to present, our "Becoming Citizen Scientists" Project (fall'09) at the Belmont Media Center has grown from Mrs. Nic (me) as volunteer coordinator to 3 NLD scientists and long-term MIT robotics and biomedicine advisors. In addition, our SciTV Team includes over 27 student actors, producers, researchers, and media artists in Belmont, Brookline, Lexington, and Milton. In addition, parents participate in workshops that are filmed or volunteer for technical work (not enough!)
Alas, all of us are working as students or paid professionals, with this volunteer work on the side.
I handle all the logistics and publicity with support from Belmont Media Center.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Our Preview Party on NLD Day was hosted by our local station, Belmont Media Center. The first show is still not completely ready for airing on Channel 9.
Drop Dear for First Program delayed til: August 15!!!
(ENDof time for Phase One of our NLD Project)
HELP support us now! I (Christina Nicolson, coordinator,) am completely booked during the weeks of JULY as faculty of College Gate, Winchester. www.cacg.org
Our team's mission is to guide citizens away from ignorance about science and technology what citizens (esp. elementary children's families).
Please HELP us to know what scientists think is crucial for good citizens to understand. By the way, KidsPBS Design Squad Contest and Nova Science Now help us keep informed and motivated.

Yes, ideas for GRANT PROPOSALS or donations would be great, since,alas, we do not qualify for donorschoose.org. UP until August 15, Mrs. Nic received absolutely no grants or funds for her management and course work time for "Becoming Citizen Scientists!"
Advice can be brief. Thanks.
