Remember the Year 6 students I ran an outreach workshop with a couple of weeks ago?
Last week, I posted the lithographs of Saturn images taken by Cassini to the class, care of IntoUniversity Haringey. Yesterday, I found a big envelope sitting on my chair at work. This is what it contained.

I love that I'm inside the rocket. I love that the rocket is rainbow-coloured. I love that they designed their own logo. In fact, there's nothing that I don't love about this card.

Text from the inside reads: "Dr:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Thank you Dr:nanila. You are the best engineer. Thank you for coming to into university and working with us. Love from Risley Avenue 650!"

It tickles me that the stars are stars of David. Also that the second rocket looks like the product of an unholy alliance between a traffic signal and a billiard rack.
I got a bit emotional when I opened it, I must admit. I do hope this experience will help them to retain a positive impression of science and engineering in the face of the impending and inevitable adverse influences.
