Re: STEM introduction in a difficult circumstance
Maybe reach out to the teams in NY to see how they deal with "I'm in a New York State of Mind". Lots of teams in the Rochester area that have amazing outreach for teams along the northern tier.

Foster stupid question time (tm): Why travel 2000 miles to another state to do STEM outreach when there are a ton of places in your area that are in the same situation? I'm all for road trips, but is that the best use of time, money and effort?

If going to Buffalo was the goal, bag that, go across the river into Southern Ontario. Better Falls, things to see, they have poutine and butter tarts, etc.

Want to go half way, go to the bottom eastern shore of MD and Southern Delaware and build teams there. That area I have grant money for.
