Super Science Saturday is April 14
The second annual Super Science Saturday will take place at the Gambucci Arena Saturday, April 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Dakota Science Center and the Parent Information Center have joined together for this free family event featuring hands-on science activities and informational exhibits for children in grades 1-6. The Boy Scouts of America will hold their Scout Show in the Gambucci Arena for children of all ages. The Hands-On Learning Fair, for children birth to age 7, will be held in the Purpur Arena sponsored by the Northeast Chapter of the N.D. Association for the Education of Young Children (NENDAEYC), Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R), Healthy Families Region IV, and Grand Forks County Social Services.
Families with children will enjoy hands-on activities designed to spark an interest in the sciences during Super Science Saturday. In addition, "Extreme Science" demonstrations will take place on the center stage during the event's hours.
Super Science Saturday is part of National Environmental Education Week. Greater Grand Forks residents will be able to bring their ink cartridges, laser cartridges, laptops, cell phones and pda's for recycling to the event. The Dakota Science Center uses the Cartridges for Kids program to raise money for hands-on science activities in our community. A technotrash box will also be available for residents to recycle electronic media such as videos, cassettes, computer disks, CDs and DVDs. The GreenDisk Company began on Earth Day 1993 to provide a secure way to dispose of intellectual property in an environmentally responsible manner. |
