I had been waiting a while to catch this moment and SARSEF‘s 2015 Future Innovators Night was my chance. This child was checking out the Mad Science Tucson display at the event, and I just happened to be walking past. In fact, the resident mad scientist running the display was about to pack up his equipment in preparation for his stage show on the other side of the room.

Moments like this are neat–watching kids, and adults too, discover something new, learning about what happens if they try this or that.

Parents and other family members attending events like this: be ready to explore, to try something new, to get your hands dirty, to look silly. That is the best way to show children the fun in learning.
