"It's Not Magic, It's Science!" Live Tour Takes Over Dallas!

We've taken the magic behind the science on the road for a live show that's as entertaining as it is educational! Our 5th stop on the tour was Dallas, TX hosted at a two bilingual elementary schools?and presented by?Cheetos and Bad Bunny's Deja Tu Huella fund. 255 students benefited from the live performance at the schools and took home an "It's Not Magic, It's Science!" experiment kit (in English or Spanish)!

Next stop?? The inspiration and impact will be back soon with the 2023 "It's Not Magic, It's Science!" Live Tour (sponsorship opportunities available). More details on that coming soon! Want your city/company be part of the 2023 "It's Not Magic, It's Science!" Live Tour??Contact us here.

Hour of Code

Diana Mogena and I continued our tradition of supporting the Hour of Code by leading a group of local 4th graders through a Code.org activity! We highly recommend this resource be used year round and are actively promoting trilingualism (English, Spanish and a coding language) as a key to the success of youth growing up in this technical era.
