Hi
Not sure if this has been posted before, apologies if so smile. Anybody with a science-y kid going to the Bay Area - check out the tech museum in San Jose. We also did the Chabot space and science center and the exploratorium which were great but the SJ Tech museum hands down was fantastic. You know how children's museums can sometimes feel like they all do the same thing? The Tech was original. Favorite things - using swap out puzzle pieces to design circuits - first to program a robot then to program a car. In both cases effectively taught logic, on off, if thens, it was awesome.
Favorite at Chabot - the telescopes, saw sun activity and they had a neat program where you could fly into a black hole! All Highly recommeded!
