Ric and I rounded out the BioBus 2009 Mid-West tour back in NYC today at Angelo Patri Middle School in the Bronx. We had a great day with 4 different classes – the first classes on the BioBus in its new configuration. The refurbished BioBus not only looks really nice, but is much more functional. We have room for many more students in both the front and the back of the bus, and everyone is more comfortable. Also, I know have a big whiteboard space at the front to use in my lessons. I will post some pictures of actual students on the BioBus soon, but below are some unpeopled shots of the interior.
Another exciting development – I might be on live Japanese television next week. Did I mention we’re big in Japan? (Sorry, lame joke, but I’ve always wanted to say that.) It will probably be either this coming Thursday or the Thursday at between 5 and 6pm. So, if you are a school-age student or you know any school age students who would like a mini-lesson on the BioBus at that time and want to be famous in Japan, let me know.
The bus looks great. Just in time for a new year of teaching.
