MEET A SCIENTIST DAY AT THE GWINNETT ENVIRONMENTAL AND HERITAGE CENTER
Does your child want to be a scientist when he or she grows up? The Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center (GEHC) invites guests to discover their inner scientist by participating in its annual Meet a Scientist event on Friday, April 25, 2014, from 5:30pm until 9:00pm.
“This is your chance to meet scientists from across the community and learn all about the important work that they do,” said Jason West, GEHC director of programming. “You can determine what really makes a scientist tick and enjoy some hands-on science.”
Scientists participating in the event represent a broad spectrum of professions including pharmacy, veterinary medicine, computer engineering, hydrology, global information systems and more.
Guests will enjoy looking at an animal’s x-ray, testing water with an aquatic engineer, exploring the world of computers and capturing macro invertebrates! In addition, they will also enjoy learning about the physics behind the fun by experiencing the Amusement Park Science exhibit, which is currently on display at the GEHC.
The event is included with GEHC admission. For admission pricing and more information, visit www.gwinnettEHC.org.
