If you happened to be passing through the Children's Department on
Tuesdays this past summer at around 2pm, you would have heard children
chanting “We love mad science!” For eight weeks, Miss Melissa, Mr. Joe,
and Miss Merissa portrayed science geniuses as school-age children were
invited to attend Elementary Explorations, a science-based program
including experiments, trivia games, crafts, and other hands-on fun.
Each week we kicked off the program with our theme song, followed by
delving into topics such as dinosaurs, the human body, inventors and
inventions, the ocean, and, even, a session called Science Spectacular,
which covered a plethora of topics like volcanoes and flight. Each week
there were anywhere from 40-100 children having fun and learning in the
process. We look forward to exploring new topics next year and hope to
see you there!
