High Touch High Tech Participates in WNC Nature Center's Festival of Knowledge
February 20, 2008 - High Touch High Tech participated in the WNC Nature Center's Festival of Knowledge where children of all ages had their science fair projects on display.

Students and visitors to the WNC Nature Center had the opportunity to enjoy an "edu-taining" experience as High Touch High Tech scientists facilitated their signature experiment, "Space Mud".

In recognition of the student's efforts, High Touch High Tech awarded prizes to the top two finishers in the science fair competition.

"The day's events were a true celebration of science and nature!" said High Touch High Tech President Daniel Shaw. "High Touch High Tech is committed to increasing the scientific literacy of children and we appreciate the opportunity to recognize these students for their creative displays."

 

Worldwide High Touch High Tech serves students in 27 locations across the United States and 5 foreign countries. High Touch High Tech programs stimulate the imagination and curiosity of children and are now also available in Western North Carolina.

 

High Touch High Tech programs include In-school workshops, Afterschool programs, Preschool programs, Summer Camp programs and Birthday parties.

Maccabi Academy to Partner with New Mobile Science Program
Five-year old Madison Swickle's jaw dropped as a vortex of colored water, mimicking the forces of a tornado, formed right in front of her eyes in the miniature lab she had just built. The wide-eyed, speechless expression on the face of the Maccabi Academy Kindergartner said it all. "This is so cool!"

 

That was last year. Now, as a first grader at Maccabi Academy, Madison and the rest of the kids at Maccabi Academy are looking forward to an entire year of "cool!" thanks to a generous offer from High Touch High Tech Mobile Science Lab.

 

Daniel Shaw, High Touch High Tech president announced that the company would be donating a year's worth of programming to Maccabi Academy. After getting a taste of the unique and engaging program last year, teachers and students at the school can't wait for more.

 

"This is really exciting. The High Touch High Tech van came out last spring and the kids just ate it up. They made their own tornadoes, studied chromatography, and were really basically turned on to science," said Amy Rowling, who teaches kindergarten and first grade.

 

Shaw, founded High Touch High Tech in 1991 in Coral Springs, FL. A former microbiologist, Shaw, a.k.a. "Dinosaur Dan", has created more than 60 programs that cover pretty much every chapter in a typical elementary-level science class, including Earth, space, plant life, molecules, insects, nutrients and weather. Using a fully loaded mobile science lab, a team of scientists visits the school for a 90-minute session, engaging the kids and passing along their passion for exploration.
