Program recommendation: Dr. Nitro's Mad Science and Ice Cream Social
by Emily Dumas 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Hi everyone, I wanted to recommend Dr. Nitro's program that was held at Royal Oak Public Library today. It was terrific! He begins with science experiments that were very interactive with the audience, then explains and demonstrates the process of making liquid nitrogen ice cream. At the end of the event all of the kids get a bowl of the ice cream with their choice of toppings. The show was educational and extremely entertaining. We had our biggest turnout of the summer, as well! One of the young attendees asked to speak to the person who had booked Dr. Nitro and told me, "Please, please have him back!" No higher praise indeed! This was Dr. Nitro's first library event, and it went very smoothly. Here's his website if you're interested: https://www.drnitro.org/ Emily -- Emily M.
