First Day of Class and Science Museum Tour

Our first day of class in the Asa Briggs building went very well. Everyone was on time--even the few who got lost (briefly) on their way to class.  The classroom is on the street level and right next to a cafe. The sidewalks on this little road are almost non-existent.
Asa Briggs Hall--our classroom is
the farthest window on the ground floor.
After a break for lunch, we went the the Science Museum. Mike, a Blue Badge tour guide, showed us around the museum (see http://www.blue-badge-guides.com/ ) .  He pointed out important British engineering accomplishments (and some German and American as well). I did not force the students to pose for a group picture and I am sure they were relieved.

  1. I walked into work this morning and on the electronic sign in our lobby, the first thing I saw was this tweet about your class! Woohoo!
