The Friends of Allentown Parks launched almost two decades ago to bring people to the city’s parks and help educate people there.
So its partnership with Da Vinci Science Center is perfect for its mission, according to Executive Director Rosario Stoops.
About 400 kids are enrolled in the organization’s summer camps across Allentown’s 20 parks, she said.
“We wanted to …. give them a taste of science in the park, to take … science from Da Vinci and bring it out into the park and show them that anybody can really be a scientist,” Stoops said.
“Science really is for everybody; it doesn’t matter your age. Once you put those bubbles in your hand, you’re a kid again, and you’re learning about science.”
This year, the partnership plans to stage one event at each park. Stoops said she hopes to significantly grow its impact next summer by offering multiple science demonstrations at each park.
“There’s no ceiling to where we can go,” Stoops said. “There’s no limit.”
