Albany Public Library Hosts Family Science Nights This Summer

Ever wondered what nano science really is and how it impacts the world around you? Albany Public Library is hosting a series of family science nights this summer designed to help youngsters, and their parents, investigate the world of nano science using hands-on activities. The “Explore Science: Zoom into Nano” workshop series takes place at three APL branches in June, July, and August. The free programs are taught by experts from the Children’s Museum of Science + Technology, which is part of the SUNY Polytechnic Institute.

Children and their parents or caregivers are encouraged to attend the free workshops, which focus on “Size, Scale, and Surprises,” “Nano Labs, Tools, and Nature,” and “Nano and You.” The library’s Bach Branch, Delaware Branch, and Washington Ave. Branch are hosting one session of each “Explore Science” workshop.
