This is not a problem at all. If your team comes from several different high schools, you can "share" the MER contact - perhaps on the day of the project, you could gather kids from all of the schools in one spot, meet with the MER contact, and do your art project all together. I will organize these meetings on a case by case basis, so don't worry! Just give me the main contact info for your team, and things will be just fine.

Also, another question that has been asked of me frequently is what the timeline is for this project. We are hoping to get these projects rolling starting in the fall (after school gets back in session), but whenever each team and respective contact is ready - the meetings and artwork can begin! (again, the timing of this project is case by case) In terms of when the kids' art gets incorperated into the main sculpture, that will probably happen in middle to late winter.

Thanks for your support so far!
