SCBWI (the children’s writers organization) is having a booth at the Decatur Book Festival! If you are looking for some kid-centered activities, check out our offerings at booth #405. I will be unveiling Cat Science Unleashed: fun activities to do with your feline friend (releasing August 27!), so come by Saturday at 3:20 for some cat (and dog!) fun.
Other Science-y Presentations at Booth 405:
| Saturday 10:40 | Heather Montgomery | #FreshLookatRoadkill | The discovery of contagious cancer, a kid who rebuilt a giraffe, saving endangered species — all thanks to roadkill. Come hear how tragedies are turned triumphs. Put your hands on pelts and skulls and other creepy, cool body parts! |
| Saturday 11:00 | Lyssa Sahadevan | Building Bridges: A hands-on activity for kids and adults | Author and 1st grade teacher Lyssa Turner Sahadevan explores types of bridges and the people who design them. Then, try building a bridge yourself! This activity is perfect for children ages 5-9, parents and teachers. |
| Saturday 3:00 | Shelli R Johannes | CeCe Loves Science: Story Time | Cece, a budding and inquisitive scientist, and her equally curious best friend, Isaac, conduct experiments to see whether Cece’s dog, Einstein, will eat his vegetables. |
