Virtual Visits with the New York Hall of Science

This past Saturday I attended a fundraiser that was being held by The Living Through Learning Foundation. LTLF is an educational support organization for children with chronic health conditions. During the fundraiser, I gave 2 cow’s eye dissections. One for the children and parents at the event and an encore presentation for children watching from their computers at home.

Besides the usual gross factor that kids always show when they see aqueous humor shooting out of the eye ball (which it did!), these children had a blast watching the demonstration. We fed off each other’s energy and, I can’t even describe how much of a rewarding experience I had with these kids and their families. One child in specific who I had the pleasure of teaching for several Virtual Visit sessions was in attendance. Her name was Rowan, and to see her smile in person was something I will never forget!
