To add to the theme of summer adventure, today's post features another view at the Greensboro Science Center. In the above photo, a group of children in a summer school program have just finished with their visit of the human body exhibit and are off to visit the Adventure Theater. It was wonderful seeing elementary-aged children looking at the inner workings of the heart and carrying on conversations about the skeletal system. They didn't want to leave when their teachers called them to line up.
The Greensboro Science Center is such a fabulous community resource, it would be wonderful for someone to write a grant so that every child in the city could get to the center at least once a year. Engaging with science is so easy in a place like the above-featured facility. If you haven't been lately, regardless of your age, we urge you to go and see this great use of our tax dollars! By the way, when the kids learned they were off to Adventure Theater, they were thrilled.
I can see that being the sort of thing that draws kids in! We do have a museum for science here- though it's under extensive renovations and is closed until 2017.
