The Science of Fun

I had an assignment about kids attending a summer camp at Gateway Science Museum that was sponsored by Tri-Counties Bank. The museum had a ton of activities and hands on gadgets that showed the beauty of science. It was fun. Exactly was kids need to here... "Please touch!" As the kids were cleaning up from lunch I snuck into the room a little early to get a good early look at the room. I may have felt like saying it was so I could scout a good shot out, but the real reason was that I wanted to see the activities before the kids got to them. There were so many great things to play with. I could have spent all day there just learning. It felt great. I wish I had more of these types of assignments.
