DEP's Lynn Stoddard and the CT Science Center's Hank Gruner arranged for the July Climate Educators' meeting to be held yesterday at the Connecticut Science Center.
We started on the 6th floor in the 4-D Climate Theater, with a good, sheep-hosted short introductory video to the basics of climate change. (You'll have to go to find out what the 4th dimension is.)
Next, we checked out Energy City, one of many hands-on "exhibits," for a look at clean energy alternatives and options for more sustainable living.
Everything about the Science Center was impressive. The design is so well conceived, with every floor being light filled and showcasing views of the city to the west and the river, and everything else, to the east.
To boot, the level of intrigue was HIGH at the numerous hands-on experimentation stations, especially at the innovation and inventions exhibit. "Sun 3D" and "Dinosaurs Alive" are playing frequently at the Science Center's main theater. There's a good cafeteria, a gift shop (keep it in mind for kid birthday or holiday gift lists) and reasonably priced parking.
All in all, it's a terrific, educational family outing where you'll learn a lot about climate change, CT's natural history, and innovations for sustainable living.
