Petting a California rosy boa at Community Science Night. Orange Coast College puts on this event every year - kids also get to climb on some old planes in the Aviation Technology dept., turn cranks and watch tops being turned in a programmable lathe in the machine shop, drive remote control robots, look at a smoker's lung, look behind the scenes in the aquariums, and smell scented plants in the horticulture department. They have a blast and get interested in science at the same time.

That sounds so great! It's the kind of thing I'd have loved to take my daughter to when she was younger.

I think this science fair was open to everyone - there were lots of adults there as well. It was titled "Community" rather than kids - although there were lots of activities for young people, I think the grown-ups learned a lot too!
