Mall madness
Let's Talk Science volunteers from the University of Manitoba manned six, fun hands-on activity stations at St. Vital Shopping Centre in Winnipeg, Man., where kids got to "sew an E.coli", make DNA strands out of candy, extract DNA from strawberries, make slime and participate in chemistry and microscope workshops. "It was extremely fun," said David Tang, Let's Talk Science coordinator at the University of Manitoba. "We had parents that stayed over two hours with the children, doing all six stations."

The new Wings of Discovery® Preschool Explorations in Science
& Technology resource is explored in a recent article by Mary
Quinn, Let's Talk Science education specialist, in the spring 2010 issue
of Interaction. The article shows how simple it can be to introduce
science into an early years setting using Wings of Discovery
projects.
More than 450 Winnipeg kids shopping with their parents on Saturday, March 20, 2010 had the opportunity to become junior scientists at a Let's Talk Science activity booth. 
According to David, the mall found the Let's Talk Science program a good compliment to the shopping experience and would like the site to work with them on their Kids Club Program in the future.
