Scripps Florida is hosting a “Science Cellebration” day at The Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens on Saturday, February 5 from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm. Meet Scripps Florida scientists and enjoy fun interactive exhibits and prizes. There will be hands-on science activity booths and displays from School District Choice Programs and Science & Engineering Fair winners. The event offers an exciting glimpse into the latest biomedical research taking place at Scripps Florida.

“As the state of Florida becomes a hub for the biotech industry, it is vital that our students and their families understand the impact of biotechnology on maintaining and improving quality of life,” said School District K-12 Science Manager Wendy Spielman. “The Scripps Florida Science Cellebration at The Gardens Mall will make the science of biotechnology accessible to our students and the community in a fun, interactive way. It may also open students’ eyes to a variety of careers paths and fields of study that they may have never considered before. It will be an outstanding event.”

The family-friendly event is FREE and open to the public.
