Encouraging an interest in science exercises these thinking skills, opens young eyes to the natural world around them and opens doors to other disciplines, such as mathematics and writing. That is why St. Petersburg College faculty and staff is excited to host a Family Science Night at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spcollege.edu\/friends-partners\/about\/locations\/tarpon-springs-campus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tarpon Springs Campus<\/a> on Oct. 20. This free event will give science enthusiasts of all ages a chance to do some hands-on demonstrations and experiments.
