There will be separate activities for coordinators and students; if you are a new school or cannot bring your students, you are still encouraged to attend!!
TRANSPORTATION:
The Liberty Science Center is easily accessible by public transportation - http://www.lsc.org/visit/directions or if your school can charter a bus, it is just across the hudson in Jersey City.
If you are unable to provide your own transportation to the museum, MOUSE is providing one bus leaving from our office in Manhattan. We will not have space for every squad - bus sign up is on a first come, first serve basis. If you have received notification from MOUSE that your squad has been approved for the bus, you must arrive by 8:45AM to 295 Lafayette Street at the corner of East Houston Street. The bus will leave the museum at 1PM and return to the MOUSE office. Again, space on the bus is limited - register now!
REGISTER NOW!
What’s your take on the 2008 election?
Have you ever wanted the chance to tell the world about your views on the 2008 presidential election? How about key issues such as the environment, healthcare, immigration, the war in Iraq and more? 
@15, a new platform that Best Buy is launching to connect with teens – online and in communities – wants to hear what you have to say. On Wednesday, September 17, the first-ever @15 IMO (In My Opinion) survey launched on www.at15.com and MySpace.
For ten days, until Friday, September 26, you’ll have a chance to go online to share your point of view – and to encourage your friends to do the same.
Why should you tell Best Buy? For starters, they are listening. And, as part of @15, they plan to invite teens to help them direct the company’s philanthropy. That’s right, you may have an opportunity to help direct where up to $1 million is directed to support teen-led projects.
You already know Best Buy as a place for electronics and entertainment. Now, discover the ways in which they believe in the power of teens to make a difference in the world. Go to www.at15.com to learn more.
