3. Jerry Blazey ICAR Review 9/10/03 Outreach Science Road Show –Visit grade schools and high schools plus community centers from Rockford to DuPage county. –During the past year, ~50 trips were made to schools and community centers in five counties. –Emphasizes Enthusiasm for science Energy and light The science of observations Stereotypes about science Public awareness of Fermilab Summer Science camps High School Physics Programs. Teaching Observatory

4. Jerry Blazey ICAR Review 9/10/03 Other Accelerator Related Activities Assisted with purchase of large and small furnaces for LC structure annealing. Assisting with the formation of an Advisory Committee to help Fermilab work with local organizations and citizens in planning for the future. Collaborating with the NIU Geology department on hydrogeological and geological issues associated with LC siting issues.
