World Science Festival: the street fair

Posted on behalf of Neda Afsarmanesh streetfair.JPG

After a few days of gloom and rain, Sunday was an appropriately gorgeous day in New York City, welcoming families in a street fair to enjoy the last day of the World Science Festival. Washington Square Park and the adjacent streets were packed with all sorts of magic shows, interactive games, educational demonstrations, and of course, Discovery Labs where kids could participate in hands-on science experiments. From what I saw, the kids loved it!
