PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE - FOR THE FUN OF IT

Guests:  Sandra Bonnici-Hoecherl, Associate Director of Education, Madison Children's Museum; Dolly Ledin, Adult Role Models in Science Coordinator (ARMS); Steve Goldberg, Co-Chair, Summer Palooza


What can we learn from kids? How can we turn their natural instinct for fun into learning experiences that will help them throughout life?

On this program, Sandra Bonnici-Hoecherl, Dolly Ledin, and Steve Goldberg share the creative ways our community is stimulating children to have fun learning!

From the diverse programs at the Madison Children's Museum to UW students and volunteers learning to mentor young children to "have fun with science," to Summer Palooza - the family festival inaugurated last year as the Rotary Club of Madison's gift to the Madison community - the community is coming together to maximize the benefits of play.

Enjoy Summer Palooza this year on Saturday, June 14 - Father's Day weekend from 10 am to 3:00 pm, downtown Madison at Rotary Centennial Plaza in front of the Children's Museum.
