It is springtime in Boston- a time when some of the greatest young (and old) innovators in science come together for 9 days of sciency goodness, a.k.a. the Cambridge Science Festival.

This short video highlights some of the activities and exhibits from the opening day carnival on Saturday. Features include cool stuff like LEGO robots, wicked-old mud fossil casts, making slime, and extracting banana DNA using such high-tech tools as a plastic ziplock bag and a coffee filter.

Science outreach makes me all warm and happy inside. (^_^)



Here is a video of the laser show from the opening ceremony... Science is REAL, man!
