In this episode, I discuss school projects and science fairs. Amanda recently had to create a diorama of the Battle of Bunker Hill, and I coordinated our elementary school science fair, so the whole family was involved in helping the kids learn how to tackle big projects like these without freaking out, and helping us parents learn how to not do the whole thing ourselves or die trying! Special thanks to Blake Smith of the MonsterTalk podcast, and Jamie Chambers of SignalFire Studios, creator of the Serenity, Battlestar Galactica, and Cortex roleplaying games, for being some of my wonderful judges for the science fair!
