Designing STEM outreach programs for K-12 classrooms often becomes a balancing act between ambitious goals and limited resources. Scientific equipment is just one kind of resource, but one that is unavailable to many schools.

And personal access to relevant experts – face time with actual scientists – is a resource that many programs don’t even get to add to their wish lists.
