[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/ScienceColour175.jpg”]Looking for something for the kids to do for March Break? How about kicking off their week with Science in the City for Kids, a special event taking place this Saturday, March 13.

Budding scientists and engineers (ages 8-14) are invited to attend a fun presentation by McMaster's Fireball Show, the Solar Car Project Team and demos by Let's Talk Science volunteers.

Visit John Hodgins Engineering Building, Rm. 376 to view scientific experiments, pyrotechnics and a multi-media presentation that's exciting, fast-paced and full of energy.

As well as the Fireball Show, the Solar Car Project team will be on hand to talk about solar energy and the Solar Car Challenge Race. Fireball 2 will be on site so kids can see a working solar car “up close”.

There will also be science demos by student volunteers from the Let's Talk Science Program.

This event is free and open to kids and any adult kids they'd like to bring with them. There will be refreshments and prizes.

To reserve your seat phone 905-525-9140, ext. 24934 or e-mail sciencecity@mcmaster.ca

This event is sponsored by the Office of the Vice-President, Research and International Affairs and the Natural Sciences and Research Engineering Council (NSERC).
