Paid lab organization day at my school in central Virginia - old equipment for giveaway!

Update June 17 - we have enough folks for this event!  Thank you...

Alongside my five AP workshops and the rapidly filling Conceptual Physics Summer Institute, I need to do some work with my department to organize the physics floor for the upcoming school year.

See, because virtually all of my school's students take physics, I work with two other physics teachers.  One of these is leaving; the other is transitioning into more environmental science than physics.  And a new teacher is joining us, taking over one of the physics classrooms.  We need to, for the first time in a decade, do a full inventory and re-organization of the physics floor.  

We'd love to hire some help.  We're looking for 6-8 people - hopefully physics teachers, people who know what a motion detector looks like, and what that weird thing in the drawer is used for - to work with us from 9am until about 4pm on Friday June 30 2023.  We will pay $105 for your time... plus:

We're looking to shed some old equipment.  We have a bobzillion Vernier Labpros and Labquests, for example.  Some are fully functional; I know that many of the others would work with a bit of TLC from someone who put in the time to troubleshoot.  Rather than toss these in the electronics recycling, I'd like some physics teachers to have a chance to repurpose these.  

And we'll be getting rid of a TON of textbooks, hard copy materials, etc.  Including a full VHS library of Julius Sumner Miller demonstration videos.  Participating teachers can take what they'd like from the getting rid of pile!

If you'd like to join us June 30 at Woodberry Forest School, please send me an email - I'm easy to contact via the woodberry.org academics page.
