The Egg Drop event has been successful in past years in Boulder. The Egg Drop or another comparable event could be developed to draw school-aged students (and their families) to the Supercomputing Data Center for an afternoon.
The community and the school district would benefit by the drawing the kids into a scientific event and provide an opportunity to welcome the community to the NCAR facility.
NCAR can draw on it's many years of coordinating this event to organize the Egg Drop or create a new event that would be more specific to the local community.
Work with the school district to coordinate the event and possibly help with minimal costs.
This idea could be implemented when the time is approrpriate.
