Marsha thank you for your post. Those captivated young faces alone show why this was such a worthwhile thing for the SDB to have done. Hopefully this new science festival will be the first of many.

Steve and Valerie, thank you for telling us on the Node about this important and inspiring educational project, which I really enjoyed reading about. I hope your experience will stimulate other community minded scientists to build contacts with their local school communities, to share their expertise with school teachers and school children alike. What I particularly like about the BioEYEs project is that it provides a blueprint that others can build on or adapt to get working within their own school communities and also a source of information and expertise to turn to for advice. Can I ask what ages of children the BioEYEs project is aimed at and what the youngest ages are that you teach?
