Weatherbug Experiential STEM Program  
Looks interesting!  Click here for the Weatherbug site.  Let me know if it looks good to you.  We can try to bring their stuff here.

We are ready to bring you the WeatherBug Experience. We recently developed K-12 lessons and activities that will advance your school initiatives including meeting various standards.  In addition, you will become the WeatherBug Hub for the community.

Interested in joining? I can setup a brief consultation at your convenience. Let's talk soon and make it happen! This generation of students needs it to happen.

WeatherBug Schools Program

A story from a WeatherBug School
"I don't really have story, but I can tell you how it has affected some of my "overlooked" students. I choose 2 students each week to look up the weather daily by using the weather bug site. They prepare a weather report to give during announcements each day. I choose the students that sometimes get overlooked.  They are not athletic, in advance classes etc... Being allowed to do the weather report each day during announcements makes them feel special. Teachers and students are listening to them. Teachers and students will also ask these kids in the hall, lunch and other places "Hey, what is the weather going to be like today (or tomorrow?") It gives them recognition that they may not get otherwise. They feel important. I choose a select number of students and we rotate weekly. Sometimes we need to look beyond academics and teach our students that YES, you are important. YES, You can do important things and YES, you are needed. Everyone has something to offer. That is why I choose the students that the are "different, quite and overlooked. Lets give them a moment to "shine" and feel wanted, needed and to know they can contribute to their school and classmates information that everyone needs.
