EVENT #1

For one of my events I decided to attend a Silly Science Party that they do every year at my church in the month of October.  For this event children and teens could attend and participate in different activities that had to do with science. This was my first year attending the event and I ended up really enjoying it.  I help assisted children in different activities and was able to see how science works in different ways.  The children's favorite activity was the one that they made their own slime.  We let them pick any color they wanted their slime to be and assisted them in making it.  We also did an activity were we made an exploration.  This seemed to really be something that the children enjoyed.  This related to Youth Development in my opinion because it's defiantly something you can do as a youth worker.  Sometimes it's important to find fun ways in teaching children about academics without making it boring for them.  This to me was a great example of how you can teach kid's different things in fun ways.  I found a few different links that are different events that children can attend that have a similar concept as the one that was done at my church.
