Thank you Nanette Heffernan - author of Earth Hour, one of our featured books - for joining us last night for a very special PreK-Kinder Books & Bots session!

I learned from the Desert Research Institute conference on #Wildfires two weeks ago that people often wait too long to evacuate and cause traffic jams and accidents (or worse). Please DO NOT WAIT to evacuate for everyone’s sake. Let the first responders get in while you get out.

Our cohort of PreK and Kinder educators were so wonderful to work with this week! We were lucky to have craig rosen from @nvenergy , who sponsors our Earth Hour Books & Bots lessons, in attendance as well as the author of Earth Hour! #wearenevadarobotics #discoverdri
