Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The East Lyme eclipse watch went well ! The Stars to STEM projector-planetarium were the hit of the rain-soaked afternoon. They also brought several kids hand-on activities and games that were on-going along with a couple of us doing live-stream discussions and Brian showing off his Stellina plus some of the portfolio of images he has taken with it. We had about 100 visitors, lots of kids, during the 2/2.5 hours we were open. If only the Sun had showed up :(
