Move Over Mr. Wizard ... Or Bill Nye The Science Guy for the Younger Science Whizes
HCS, Colgate and Bookstore Help Students Get Ready for the Science Fair Season
With nary a baking soda volcano in
sight, a crowd of young scientists
gathered Wednesday night at the
Colgate Bookstore for a Family
Science Night. Organizers say the
annual school science fair is not far
off and this was an attempt to get
kids enthused about science.
Judging by Wednesday night, it
worked.

Pat McGill, second grade teacher,
and Mark Cohen, fifth grade
teacher, worked with Katie and
Don Duggan-Haas (assistant
professor of educational studies) at
Colgate to organize the event.

Numerous Colgate seniors set up
interactive science displays and
demonstrated to the kids and their
parents.

The event was held in the
bookstore's third floor public space.
