to Explore the Wonders of Science

"Science Day" will take place on from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the University Student Union the east side of the campus at 18111 Nordhoff St., Northridge.

The day's activities will include hands-on workshops provided by companies such as NASA and Rocketdyne. The fifth graders will be given the opportunity to try on real space suits, learn about space travel, visit CSUN's own Formula 1 race car and listen to keynote speakers.
