Science Fair at Marina Square?

It is an excellent idea to bring the mountain to Mohammed. Science Fair for the masses. Publicity was good too as it is in the newspaper. We brought our boys there. They have a good time to play with the exhibits. It is good the get a dose of science in action. Sea monkeys, Zebra fish for genetic engineering, Computer graphic for creative facial expressions, demonstration of solar cells and hydrogen fuel cells, even lobsters make it to the exhibits. Making bouncing balls out of household materials attracted alot of attention. Test for level of vitamin C in fruit juices is interesting too.

My wife asks "what can you do with this?" after a demo. The response was "Nothing, we are still trying to understand this phenomena." My wife is a pragmatist. You must be able to make money from science. Otherwise it is not useful.

When will this Science Fair end? Sounds like a great fun. It reminds me of primary/secondary school visits to Science Centre.

I do not know. There are a lot of science activities this month organised by A*star. Some are held in Borders.
