Calling all geeks!

How could we resist a press release with a headline like this: "Science Center Targets Science Geeks." That would be the Science Center of Pinellas County, which for the first time this summer will offer more intensive science classes for fifth and sixth graders.

"This is something extra we're trying for die hard science fans," said Madeline McNaughton, the center's executive director.

The one-week sessions, spent entirely in labs, will be offered several times over the summer, even as the center continues to offer its regular classes, too. To find out more, call the center at (727) 384-0027 or go to its website here.
