Sound Curiosity

Well, hello Mastodon! We're a #NonProfit community #education organization gearing up for exciting #STEM and #music learning. There's no time better for an #introduction: We're excited to #learn during today's #SolarEclipse, when the #moon will block the 98% of the #sun here in #Champaign #Urbana, #Illinois!

Find out how music, #science, #tech, #engineering, and #math all work together at https://soundcuriosity.org/stem

We have a few dozen #SolarEclipse #photos featuring #students at #UIUC #University of #Illinois. The #astronomy department set up a #telescope and distributed more than 800 pairs of #eclipse viewers in a matter of minutes!

For those who love fun, join the Gathering of Bronze, the new group from Sound Curiosity! Imagine Bill Nye the Science Guy hanging with Blue Man Group — that’s us!

Monday nights, we're building a #STEM and #music educational performance group in #Champaign-#Urbana, #Illinois Good attitude required, no percussion experience necessary but basic familiarity with musicianship is helpful.

What questions may we answer?

Excited to welcome folks to our Launch Brainstorms today and tomorrow!

Just follow the signs when you come in the Broadway Street entrance of the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center. Head upstairs to Suite 203 on the northwest corner of the second floor. We'll see you there!

We want YOUR opinion! What makes learning fun? What excites you about #STEM and #music?

If you're anywhere near #Urbana / #Champaign / #Chambana in #Illinois, join one of our Inspiration Brainstorm sessions coming up on August 12, 17, and 18. Please RSVP right away to make sure we have food for you!

(Yes, we use #handbells and #percussion instruments, but you don't have to be a musician -- you just need to like fun.)

The #SolarEclipse has begun in #Illinois!
