If you are interested in helping children discover what science is all about,
I'd like to invite you to sign up as a Scientist-By-Mail.  Science-By-Mail is
an innovative problem solving program that was established by the Boston Museum
of Science in 1987.   The program brings together children and scientists in a
pen pal program that focuses on the solving of 3 science challenge packets a
year.  The subjects of the packets range from designing methods of waste
management in a space station to learning about the physics of ice cream.   We
are looking for scientists who are interested in providing constructive and
supportive feedback to children who are trying to make sense of the world
around them.  Currently there are over 3000 children and 350 scientists.  We
s in museums worldwide.  Our present US chapters are in
Nashville, Richmond (VA), Jersey City, New York City, Charlotte, Boston,
Louisville, and Kansas City.  We are also looking for scientists in the UK for
our chapter in Derry, Northern Ireland.  Future chapters include Georgia,
Alaska, and New Zealand. 

If you are interested, send me a note with your (street) address.  I will
forward an application.  Please pass on this note to anyone who might be
interested and would enjoy corresponding with children ages 9-14.

We also have applications for student participants who can sign up with their
friends, family, classmates, or by themselves.

Thanks,
