• Black Hole planetarium show
• Special event happened on May 19 goal was to
  take data on what people have learned from the
  show. This did not happen due to technical
  problems. We expect them to take the data in June
  and send it to us. A questionnaire was developed
  based on the misconceptions that teacher usually
  have in our workshops. This completes our
  subcontract with Chabot.

  Thanks! This funds us through FY07. We are
  putting the funds into budget categories, so next
  month I should know where we stand. However, we
  would like to make sure we can get a no-cost
  extension through 12/31/07 at least, to cover
  launch in case the FY08 funds dont show up in
  time.
