LEOMINSTER -- How do bees make honey? What makes a robot move? How are storms created?

Get the answers to those questions and more at the fourth annual Central MA Science Festival on Saturday, April 15, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Boys & Girls Club of Fitchburg and Leominster, 365 Lindell Ave.

The Central MA Science Festival is a free event featuring more than 25 interactive science and technology exhibits. This year's lineup of activities and events will inspire the scientist in all of us. Local scientists and educators will offer hands-on activities, including beekeeping, astronomy, robotics, oceanography, aviation, gold mining, holograms, laser obstacle course and embryology.

"This event is an opportunity for our club to share our passion for science, technology, Engineering, art and math (STEAM) with our community and encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to develop their curiosity for science and discovery," said Donata Martin, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fitchburg, Leominster and Gardner. "This is a day where kids, adults and families discover new ideas and technology, learn the answer to questions about science and nature, and become inspired."

The Central MA Science Festival is the largest festival of its kind in North Central Massachusetts and is held in affiliation with the Cambridge Science Festival. The festival is sponsored by the Jacqueline Lavallee Trust, Market Basket, Omnova and DCU.
