Event coordinators are working with several local groups including FIRST, Friends of Rye Nature Center, Groundwork Hudson Valley, Westchester Children's Museum, Greenburgh Nature Center and the Hudson River Museum.
The event is produced by the World Science Festival and presented by Con Edison. It will take place at the Westchester County Center (198 Central Avenue) and feature a wide variety of scientific attractions, interactive demonstrations, huge exhibitions and hands-on learning.
