What a great place for your children 5th - 10th grade to spend the afternoon
along with parents and friends! I have attended this event and the DREME
Foundation has company exhibits from all facets of science from NASA to
petroleum companies to city recycling and TSU Chemistry PhD students -- all
with a number of exciting exhibits to stimulate the minds of our youth and all
FREE! Adults will enjoy watching and participating in the hands-on learning
too... PASS the Word to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Church Youth Groups...
