Hello, my name is Machan Taylor and I work with the Kids Science Challenge, a free nationwide competition for third to sixth graders, made possible by the National Science Foundation. Many homeschoolers participated in the first year of the Kids' Science Challenge, and we hope you'll have a look at this fun way to turn kids on to the world of science.
Our website offers games, downloadable activities, videos, and curricula aligned to national standards. Kids learn about several fields of science, and are invited to submit an experiment or problem for our select group of kid-friendly scientists and engineers. The children whose entries are chosen, receive wonderful prizes and get to collaborate with the scientists to see their ideas come alive. The first thousand entrants receive free science activity kits and your home schoolers can use our activities to jump-start their own science projects at home.
Check out www.kidsciencechallenge.com for stories, pictures and videos of last year's winners. On our press page, you'll see some of the great national and local stories written about us.
I hope that you'll join our efforts in getting the word out to the thousands of home schooled children that would enjoy and benefit from this wonderful program and exciting opportunity. We would greatly appreciate if you would be willing to display a banner on your site, send out an email blast to your members in a newsletter, or let other home schoolers know about us however you may see fit.
Finally, for those of you that are networking online, please visit our Facebook and Twitter pages so we can connect!
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Machan Taylor
