A great experience for the kids! Kudos to all involved. Now as a follow up, if they really want a lesson in density, take them down to watch a Detroit City Clowncil Meeting!

Got to be honest here....... I laughed when I read the headline of this article (easily amused I guess).

I have to admit that I saw the headline and thought it could be interpreted a couple of ways too. :-)

I agree! My daughter will be in a program at UM on Saturday that shows kids how to make rockets. I love these opportunities for students in our community, and the smiles are a great payback.

Great to see young and eager smiling faces while learning. Also great to see the smiles also on the WCC students while helping the kids
