From the Mountains to the Seacoast #17Tue, Aug 19th 2008If you're in the North Conway area on Wednesday stop by the Weather Discovery Center to visit the Seacoast Science Center. It's our last program of the Subaru Science in the Mountains: A Passport to Science summer series.
This summer we've been taking our visitors to scientific destinations far and wide! Through videoconferencing technology we've gone to the Alaska Sealife Center, Space Center Houston, talked with Isaac Ginis at the University of Rhode Island, South Pole and the National Baseball Hall of Fame, where we learned about science on the sandlot. If you haven't had a chance to check out this series now is the time!
On Wednesday, August 20 at 7 PM we'll close out the series with a trip to the coast of New Hampshire for a live look at the tidepools of the Granite State's rocky shores.
The Weather Discovery Center is located on Main Street in North Conway Village. Admission is FREE and seating is limited. Arrive early and enjoy some refreshments. Thanks to Subaru of America, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation - North Country region and 93.5 WMWV for supporting this series. It's been a fantastic summer!
