I wonder if there is a market out there for something like a CSMA for science. CSMA brings art and music to schools that don't have their own programs (my kids benefit greatly). They send their own instructors to help teach the art and music. Maybe there needs to be a group that brings science to the classroom? Something where people who have studied science bring experiments to the school and teach the kids. This would get around the problem of elementary school teachers being uncomfortable teaching science... Great post Robin.
