A special exhibit will show art created by children for the “Draw Me a Scientist” contest.
This year’s Science Festival will also feature an assortment of musical performances and workshops including “Journey from Beach to Drum,” with Chen Cymbalista and the Ashkelon Chamber Orchestra, as well as Gypsy-Balkan music, wandering Brazilian performances combining dance, movement and rhythm, a show featuring new musical instruments and a workshop in constructing musical instruments from recycled materials and junk.
This year’s contests, which require advance registration, are the “flying egg,” and a team treasure hunt. For more information and contest registration: 08-934-3959.
