NC Science Fest, April 5-21

nc-science-festival-2013

Cary, NC – My friend Jack in Chapel Hill writes a great blog. Over the weekend, he posted about the 3rd Annual North Carolina Science Festival, happening April 5-21st. It’s two and half weeks of science events for adults and kids across North Carolina.

NC Science Fest has events across the Triangle and the state about robots, trees, stars, solar energy, TEDx, lab tours, exhibits, performances and hands-on activities.

Jack highlighted a few interesting events from the dozens happening in the Triangle:
