The Inland Empire Science Festival was a huge hit with attendees of all ages at the Western Science Center in Hemet on April 20. Leya Collins, the WSC Museum Laboratory Manager, greeted visitors with “Charlotte,” a non-venomous Reticulated Python, as she explained the importance of science to the community.
The event drew crowds of Hemet Unified School District students and their families, as well as many others who came to enjoy the annual festival. Visitors were able to explore the WSC Museum, where fossils of prehistoric animals and their histories are preserved and on display at 2345 Searl Parkway.
Leya Collins and event coordinator Brett Dooley welcomed visitors to the festival, offering free admission to the museum for HUSD students and families. As they explored the museum, attendees were able to learn about the importance of science in their daily lives and how it can impact their future.
The Inland Empire Science Festival was a great way for people to come together and celebrate their love of science. With hands-on activities and informative displays, attendees were able to gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts and how they can apply them in their own lives.
