STEM Ed Announcement: Cross Country Bike trip - Bridges student

[Morton Sternheim <mort@k12s.phast.umass.edu>]

This is not a UMass event.
================================


Maybe some of the teachers you know would like their students to
follow this rider and his blog of a young man riding a bike across the 
country?

Jason graduated from UMass and ComCol this year and plans to do the
Bridges Program in the Fall to be a high school biology teacher. He was 
in the IT Capstone class this year. He built the web site for Pathways 
Family Literacy Program (that the school dept has not yet launched).

This summer he is riding a bike across the country (about 70 miles
per day) to raise money for a Haitian Clinic.
He has a daily blog, would love for students to follow it,  and if
they post questions about the trip he will try his best to answer them.
