Over the last few days, I have been concentrating on finishing up my planetarium presentation on the International Space Station. Admittedly, this has been quite a bit harder than I thought it would be, mainly in coming up with a topic that I could condense into a fifteen-minute presentation appropriate for kids. It has been rewarding, though; along the way, I've learned a lot about previous space stations (namely, Skylab and Mir) as well as the research being conducted on the ISS. (A lot of it sounds really cool: for example, they've recently developed a sort of plasma germ-zapper that harms drug-resistant germs but has little effect on humans.) Hopefully, I'll be able to assemble and code the show today; if not, I may have to come back later to finish the show.
On a separate note, we finished the slides last week. All in all, we ended up filling about two file cabinet drawers of slide sheets, as well as a foot-tall stack of miscellaneous junk slides that will probably get tossed. Curiously and coincidentally, we also found a set of slides marked "Bear Tales" that we were able to use in the identically-named show that Destiny and I had crafted at the beginning of the project.
