Eclipse in Austin, Texas. What are you doing?

The solar eclipse is happening Monday, August 21. This is the first day of school in Austin. My understanding is that the point of maximum coverage will occur at 1:10 p.m.  My Austin peeps (or others), what are you planning to do, if anything, to view the partial eclipse with your students? Part of me thinks it's a great way to start the school year! What do you think? I'm thinking a simple pinhole projector is the way to go.  Regards, Michael....................

Michael, I am so sorry I missed seeing your post until now. We have been at school for 4 days and some of the classes made pinhole projectors. I live in Louisiana and we had a partial 71% eclipse but it was still amazing! I hope your first day of school went well today!
