Library To Offer Family Science Program
ITHACA--The Tompkins County Public Library and Cornell University’s Center for Materials Research have announced the Saturday, April 14 return of Families Learning Science Together.
Held in the Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming Room from 2:00 to 3:00 PM, the inaugural program in this spring’s FLST series will explore the science of sound. Families will learn—through the direction of Professor Yingxin Gao-- how sounds are created and heard by participating in interactive activities including music making, singing and the use of ultrasound technology. Families are welcome to bring their own instruments.
Families Learning Science Together is a free, monthly program held at the Library from April through July, and is designed to help children ages 5 through 12 develop an early love of science through hands-on participation.
Families Learning Science Together programs are free and open to the public, but space is limited. To register, contact Kaleigh at outreach@ccmr.cornell.edu or (607) 255-9547.
