Great weather, hot bands, succulent food, and BioBus science brought over 100 people together for a memorable day. And thanks to your generosity, we netted over a thousand dollars, which will give 600 students the chance to see a microscopic world that most of them have never dreamed of!

If you want to bring the BioBus to even more students at high-needs schools, it is quick and easy to donate online.

Check out the video slide show with soundtrack by Just Puppets.

See you at our Mid West tour kickoff event at the P.S. 334 Fall Eco Festival on Saturday, October 3rd!
