The Mission Science Workshop in San Francisco has also made several in-kind donations. Their first contribution was a collection of meal-worms at various stages to establish a new colony. Last year, we created our own Meal-worm life cycle display and several fourth grade students cared for the larva, the pupa and the beetles; they did a fantastic job and were very excited about the exploratory hands-on nature of the project. We will bring back the meal-worms when classes are focused on life science. 

Thanks to EPI for the copper wire 
for this stripped-down motor.

Thanks to Andy Hagin for the universal joint to make our Labyrinth swivel! Otherwise we would have had to keep picking it up with a partner to play. 

A huge thanks to the Martinez Home Depot for donating a gift card that has enabled us to buy materials and create so many of the fun things in our Workshop.
