Fernbank Science Center is thrilled to announce a repeat of its very popular programs for young students. Each Science Night Out is a evening packed with hands-on activities for kids. Typical comments last year were, "Mom, I don't want to leave!" and "When is the next one?"

The programs are staffed by Fernbank scientists and volunteers. There is a small charge to cover materials and to support Fernbank's aerospace programs. The target audience is fun-loving, science-aware children from 3rd grade through 6th grade.

Each program runs on a Friday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Parents drop their children off at the entrance registration tables at Fernbank Science Center, 156 Heaton Park Drive N.E., Atl;anta, GA 30324 (678-8784-7102) and pick them up at 9:00 p.m.

The charge for the program is $15 ($10 for each additional sibling) and the registration is done entirely by mail.
