If you take any pictures for social media PRLS would love it if you could share them with us so I can post them on our pages as well!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, <\/strong>Red Hot Science is providing guest programming and the children are<\/strong> the responsibility of the host library at all times<\/strong>. As such, Red Hot Science requires that an adult supervisor from the library (staff or volunteer) be continuously present<\/strong> in the room with the children during all Red Hot Science events. <\/p>\n\n\n
