St. Louis Science Center First Friday in March Offers Space Activities for the Whole Family

By Carmelo Turdo
The St. Louis Science Center hosted its March First Friday event last week as an on-going promotion of Star Trek, The Exhibition.  The monthly event provides a variety of science education activities for all ages in the James S. McDonnell Planetarium and the main Science Center building across Highway 40 from Forest Park.  Even outside, members of the St. Louis Astronomical Society offered telescope viewing of the night sky to visitors.  Of course, throughout the evening, Star Trek, The Exhibition, was open at a discount admission rate.  Here are some scenes from this month's First Friday event:
