What is a Family Science Event?
 A Family Science event could be a special evening of fun science activities for families, a series of classes where
families attend three or more workshops, or a Saturday neighborhood event. Chapter 8 in the Family Science book provides a chapter to help you organize an
event in your community (it even includes a planning guide and sample materials).  Click here to find out more about the book.
