April is NC Science Festival time! There are many excellent science programs being offered throughout the month. At the site, you can search for events in our area. Many of them are free and open to the public! A Time for Science, a science/nature center in Grifton, is hosting some wonderful events. Two of them being "State Wide Star Party" on the 5th and then "What's Bugging You" on the 6th. I know we have several Explorers interested in space. John and Nancy Brey are the founders of A Time For Science and put on quality programs. If you are able to attend any of the NC Science Festival events, we hope your student will share what they experienced/learned at a Science Club meeting. Each of the students has something to share and the others gain so much from the sharing.
BugFest is the nation’s largest bug-centric festival celebrating all things buggy happens each September at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. Featuring events like the Roachingham 500 and Café Insecta, where local chefs cook up some tasty treats featuring–you guessed it–bugs, mixed with educational programming, music and entertainment, this event is a family favorite. This year BugFest will take place Saturday, September 15th from 9a-7p at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science with exhibits and buggy fun on Jones Street, The Plaza, Edenton Street, and all four floors of the Museum! This year's theme bug: mantids! It is a fun, free event! The North Carolina Science Festival is a two-week, 500-mile-wide celebration of science! Museums, universities, businesses, parks and other North Carolina organizations host hundreds of science-themed events for the public.. To find out the dates and times of events in our area, click here - quite a few of the events in the Greenville area are free to the public. If you are able to attend any of the events, we look forward to hearing about them at one of our meetings! Take pictures and notes!
