Get Ready for the 2017 Great American Eclipse
On Monday, August 21, 2017 the shadow of the moon will pass across the US making a line from Oregon to South Carolina. August 21, 2017 is going to be a BIG deal, and we want to help you get ready. It is estimated that 50 million people will be able to witness “totality” for a few minutes as the moon completely blocks the sun. While Western New Yorkers will only be able to witness a partial eclipse, it will still be remarkable as about 75% of the sun will be obscured by the moon. Join us to learn about how eclipses happen, what to expect, and safe methods for viewing the eclipse. We want to empower you to become eclipse experts so that you can prepare your students to make the most of this remarkable event. In this Make-And-Take workshop you will make a viewer to safely view the eclipse--great Makerspace Project! 2 hours of CTLE credit.
Instructors: Mark Percy and Dr. Kevin Williams
Date: Thursday, April 20, 4:30-6:30pm
