You ready for EELS?!
It's that time again- Advent Calendar time!!
Wanna learn about eels for 24 days STRAIGHT? Maybe leading up to Christmas, maybe leading up to Halloween, or your birthday, or your dog's birthday, or any number of auspicious days?!
Boy do I have the calendar for you.
Get one here!
Scratch off one orange box a day to reveal a fact about eels. it's like a lottery ticket, but you win every day because it's always facts about eels.
These calendars are the primary way that my science education nonprofit, Skype a Scientist, keeps the lights on. Calendars are totally critical for us to keep existing, and also share a bunch of cool science! It's a beautiful thing.
Skype a Scientist matches scientists with classrooms, scout troops libraries, and others for online Q&A sessions all over the world. We serve about 4000 classrooms a year and offer our program for FREE. We can offer it for free thanks to these advent calendars. It's a weird way to fund a nonprofit, but hey, it works.
We also run events in our hometown in Philly that often center art when communicating science! We host moth nights in the woods and in city parks to connect people with nature, and host events like Climate Change Crafting Night where participants create art that communicate important environmental messages! When we have enough money we even create community science murals!
You can always donate to support our org without buying a calendar here.
Reposts are incredibly appreciated. Running a nonprofit is a challenge! Tumblr helps a LOT!!
