After 4 months of travel throughout northern Michigan, Cu in Michigan comes to close. We were able to travel to 14 schools, reached 2754 students, and traveled almost 5500 miles! Thank you to all the principals, teachers and students for letting us visit and for all your wonderfully positive feedback!

We are currently working on ASoG’s next program on light and color which will be available September 2012. Watch your email, snail mail, and our website for more information and to find out how to reserve your spot this fall!

In the meanwhile, ASoG is keeping busy with our Summer Teacher Workshops. We’re inviting northern Michigan K-12 teachers to join us this summer on Cranbrook’s campus in Bloomfield Hills for a free four-day teacher workshop. Through a generous grant from The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation, housing, meals and materials will be provided. Currently there are two sessions open; the first running from June 11 to 14 and the second running from June 18 to 21.

To find more information and to register, visit the ASoG Teacher Workshop page at http://science.cranbrook.edu/for-teachers/asog/workshops.

After three weeks of travel across northern Michigan, we are glad to have a chance provide an update on Cranbrook Art and Science on the Go. So far, we have traveled to six schools, reached 813 students, and traveled nearly 2000 miles. Response from teachers and students to our first program, Cu in Michigan, has been overwhelmigly positive. We look forward to visiting the next round of schools!

We are currently finalizing a schedule for the Summer Teacher Workshops, preparing materials for the current program, and starting to think about the fall program. Teachers have given us many ideas, but we are leaning towards Light and Color as the next topic for investigation. What do you think?

Many thanks to Mike Narlock for setting up this website!
