“Wonderful. The only time my
scientist daughter (11) enjoyed art.”
“Mindblowing glowing
art science wonder.”
“I found that intreging
(sic) and interesting,
scary at the same time.
Overall I enjoyed it.” “Fascinating and so creative. Well
done. Never thought I would see
something like this.”
“Science alive – every
child (and big child)
should see this.”
“This was cool. To think that’s
bacteria. It’s amazing. I had a
wonderful experience.”
