Great post Eloise! It's good to hear that Green thinking was being shown. The Green Building display in the top would have been interesting to see. So glad you posted this one.

Ashley- The exhibition is open to the public again tomorrow at the convention center. You can still see it. It is a wonderful.

eloise, excellent information. electricity from rain. might be able to sell that in seatle.

Eloise - Great information and so glad you highlighted your talented New Mexico students. It is great that the young people are embracing these ideas. It also says volumes about the talented teachers you have!

Eloise - it's great to see the younger generation thinking about things of the future rather than video games, gangs, etc. Us "boomers" were alot about us and as we get older we are starting to think about other things. It's great to see the younger generation not so self-absorbed as so many of us boomers were.

Gary, Mary, Buzz- I congratulate the teachers, organizers, promoters, volunteers who are helping these young people. A whole global "village" is helping these students. I personally know the coordinator in New Mexico. Russ Fisher-Ives and his group of IQ volunteers have worked tirelessly to make the even a success.

Thank you for joining me in appreciating their achievement and cheering them on.

Eloise - I'd like to hear more about Russ and his group! They sound like they have great ideas and have worked well as a team to bring their project together. Your pictures were fantastic.

Mary- I think Russ and most of his immediate group are science educators from the  Rio Rancho school system. I believe he took leave to organize the fair. He did a wonderful job.  http://www.abqtrib.com/news/2007/may/10/spanish-translators-short-supply-international-sci/. So did the kids. Look at what some earned. http://www.forbes.com/businesswire/feeds/businesswire/2007/05/18/businesswire20070518005577r1.html
