Little Scientists in the Library Lab
- Program for children, Social Activity
This workshop series introduces children ages 7 to 10 to tough-looking scientific concepts through storytelling and child-led, hands-on experimentation. The motto is: science is for everyone – and nothing is too hard for a curious little mind.
Dr. Pooja Joshi has a degree in Chemistry and a PhD in Medical Sciences. She now writes children’s books on science topics, e.g. “Metamorphosis”.
Dr. Lilia Ermlich is an agricultural engineer and did her PhD in plant physiology. Currently, she engages herself in making science language accessible for children.
Please register your child in advance.
