Almost everything in our world is made of stuff -- material science and engineering is the study of that stuff and how we use it in everyday life. Bring out the family to explore how things are made and utilized. Try out cool science experiments like running across liquid, making ice cream in seconds and bendable glass! This year's five themes include communication, earth, energy, health and sports.
