This summer I reached out to the author of our science books and asked if he would ever be available to meet our co-op. He actually ended up being two hours from Lafayette so we scheduled a time to meet at a park and do his favorite science experiments. Some of the co-op came - mostly just our older group. 
Nephi by the wood he worked on that is now at the new park in West Lafayette. 
Some of our group with Dr. Wile. 
Experiments - he told the kids he has a virus named after him. He also has a book about how becoming a scientist changed his look on religion and how he found Christ in all the connections in the world - great book - most of the moms in co-op read it this year. He shared his journey with the children too.
Moms surrounding him afterwards. He is very kind and funny - I asked him for his picture at conference a couple years ago to show the kids which they found it awesome. Celebrity in the education world.
