The State Department of Community Health is hosting an event in Flint this weekend aimed at showing kids the joys of science; Laboratory science to be exact.
Angela Minicuci is with the Department.
She said the event will give K-12 students the chance to enjoy hands-on experiments that are uniquely planned to take advantage of the festive weekend.
"...especially with this upcoming one in Flint, being that it's St Patricks' Day, we're going to have a couple of activities that are specifically themes around St. Patrick's Day such as making green snow or making green worms. We're also going to offer the opportunity to isolate children's DNA from their own saliva and they can put it in a necklace and take it home with them. And they can also learn about rare diseases that are identified when babies are born."
The Flint event, called Explore Lab Science, is scheduled to run from 11am-2pm Saturday on the U of M Flint campus.
Pre-registration is suggested, but walk ins are also welcome.
