After conducting Project Artist for a few years, it was clear that an additional program needed to be developed specifically for a younger audience. We brought planetary science into high schools and junior highs. But then we saw that deficiencies in grade school education were the real concern. So we developed a planetary science program geared solely towards primary school students. After originally encouraging results, we noticed that the lack of planetary science incorporated into kindergarten curricula was the real hindrance toward further understanding.

It was then obvious that Planetary Science education needs to be initiated at the earliest possible stage of child development. We therefore conceived Project SPOOF, or Science, Planetary, for Obstetricians, Ova, and Fetuses. Project SPOOF is a series of lecture tapes that I recorded which are played on special neo-natal headphones.
