Rockville Science Day is intended to provide a friendly environment for students and their parents to participate in some hands-on demonstrations and to learn more about how science and engineering are important to our society. There will be more than 70 exhibitors with hands-on activities. Additional information about Rockville Science Day can be found on their website (http://rockvillesciencecenter.org/rockville-science-day/).
