Estes Elementary School
Fifth Graders at Estes Elementary School had a great hands on science experience while learning about life Down Deep in our oceans. The students used Slinky's to see sound waves, shortening fat to feel how blubber insulates and listened to soothing whale songs. Dinosaur Dan really made a splash with the kids at Estes Elementary...literally!!!
Mars Hill Elemenatry School
Many of you don't know this but there were reports of a minor earthquake that ROCKED Mars Hill Elementary School!! Well...it wasn't a real earthquake but Dinosaur Dan presented a great program there called Funomena that deals with some of earth's natural events. Along with the earthquake, there were volcanic eruptions and of course tornadoes in a tube! Luckily, no one was hurt and everyone had a great time learning about the earth!
Go Public!
On November 5, businesses in the area along with Asheville City Schools Foundation celebrated the schools of Asheville City! It was a great turnout at the Double Tree Biltmore for the silent auction to help raise money for the schools. Dinosaur Dan is a such a fan of Asheville City Schools Foundation that he is a board member! High Touch High Tech was also a partner and corporate sponsor of this great celebration. What a wonderful way to help support our local students and teachers!
After School Enrichments
High Touch High Tech is providing a wonderful after school enrichment program at Carolina Day School. Students participate in many different activities and continue to grow and learn for an hour after their regular school day once a week. Every student has their very own cool science name and also something neat to take home to show what they learned that day!

Black Mountain Elementary School
On October 8th and 9th, High Touch High Tech went out to see Black Mountain Elementary School and do some Finally Fun Machines. The students learned about what a simple machine was and also made their own screw with threads using a die and a carrot. By using a "facilitator", students were able to see many of the simple machines and how they work. The following link is the Blog that the kids used to write about their experience.
