HOOKED ON SCIENCE VIRTUAL BUZZ
"We have invited Jason Lindsey to share his passion of science with our students for the previous three years at Plano Elementary. He always brings high-energy and standards based content that is appropriate for a variety of ages. Jason understands the attention spans of children and brings a variety of activities for students to be engaged. This year we enjoyed the virtual presentation as our students were able to participate with their families at home. Jason prepared science kits that contained two experiments for students to conduct during the presentation. Many of our families took pictures of their children conducting their experiments and shared them on social media. It was a win-win as students received unique exposure to science standards and our school community saw how we keep learning going during a pandemic."

"I haven't seen students as excited and engaged with a virtual resource until our school hosted a Family Engagement STEM Night with Jason Lindsey. Students answered questions, conducted experiments, at home, and made hypotheses. The interactions were so frequent and genuine, it felt as though we were in person. Jason Lindsey's outgoing personality will have the whole family gathered around the computer. He came highly recommended to our school and I would book him again in an instant!"

HOOKED ON SCIENCE VIRTUAL BUZZ
"Jason really captivated our audience by catering his presentation to all ages. He covered all science topics from 2nd grade to 6th grade. The look on our students' faces during the zoom presentation were priceless. They were engaged and excited about science even through zoom. Jason made science come to life with hands on materials and common household items. It was a nice way for our school to have a family science night during distance learning!"

Many of you already know, I'm not a follower, I'm a leader, which is why, from the beginning, I've made it an effort to build an INCLUSIVE platform, to ALL races. It doesn't take a major event, like we are witnessing, for me to make sure I am fairly serving EVERY child and EVERY community. Bottom line, I try to practice what I teach, do the right thing, from the start. EVERY DAY I fight to make sure EVERY child has EQUAL access to science. This commitment will go unchanged. Please let me know how I can better serve you and your family. I realize there are opportunities for me to do even more.
Your Friend in Science and Community,
Jason Lindsey, aka "Mr. Science," with Hooked on Science
