Scripps Florida is once again hosting a “CELLebrate” science day at The Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens on Saturday, February 2, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. This yearly family-friendly event has something for all ages. As always, the event is FREE and open to the public!
Scripps Florida staff will be conducting exciting science demonstrations throughout the day. There will also be interactive exhibits that will open up the minds of all who visit. Scripps Florida scientists will be there to discuss their groundbreaking research that is taking place right here in Palm Beach County!
“As the state of Florida has become 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 ‘CELLebrate’ Science day 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 School District of Palm Beach County will have its own exhibit as well featuring the winners of the 2012 Palm Beach Regional Science and Engineering Fair. These students from grades 6-12 will be there to present their own scientific research to the public as a prelude to competing at Florida’s State Science and Engineering Fair in Lakeland, FL in March 2013.
