Wednesday October 31
11:00 am to 12:30 pm 
http://www.thetech.org/festivals/bay-area-science-festival-2012#mima

Bay Area students will be joining us for an international science pantomime.

Via a live-link to the Genoa Science Festival our students will connect with students in Italy. Students will pantomime science concepts through live-link technology. Bay Area students will guess the concepts – and vice versa, as they connect across the world through technology and overcome the language barrier with the universal language of science.
