Space center hosting workshops for kids this week
WRITTEN BY :   Eric Pierce


The Columbia Memorial Space Center is hosting a series of summer workshops for young children this week.

"The Glovebox" will be offered today and examines experiments completed at the International Space Station.

Tomorrow's "I Need Some Help" workshop explores NASA's Robonaut 2, Canadarm and other robotics.

"Star Gazers, The Hubble Space Telescope, Constellations and Galaxies" is scheduled for Thursday. It should be fun because kids are required to bring a Pringles potato chips container.

The workshops conclude Friday with "Space Basics," where kids can learn how to live and work in space.

All workshops are offered in two sessions: from 10 - 11:30 a.m. for students entering grades 3-4, and from 12 - 1:30 p.m. for kids in grades 5-6.

Cost is $11 per class; each class is limited to 20 students.

To register, call (562) 231-1200.
