Monty Harper and OSU scientists are back at the Stillwater Public Library to inform and entertain 3-8 grade students on science research and phenomena. “Born to Do Science” has returned with four sessions this spring on selected Sundays at 2 p.m.

“Stillwater is very lucky to have top research scientists and a children’s songwriter team up to create a truly unique learning experience,” said Elizabeth Murray, children’s librarian. “Monty brings high level science to our library in a way that is accessible to kids.”

“Born to Do Science” introduces children to working scientists who share their research and expertise. Harper, the program host, works closely with the scientists to develop each program in a way that will be fascinating for both children and adults.

“Each event features a guest scientist, scientific research you won’t hear about anywhere else, hands-on activities and a song,” said Harper. “We don’t talk down to kids and we don’t water down the science. It’s a great way to connect your family with critical thinking, genuine wonder, and real-life everyday science!”
