Lisa Robinson, a third grade teacher at Marengo, and Jay Bromley organized the event that provided educational fun and knowledge for those on hand.”
“It’s a night in which kids get a chance to learn all kinds of things about science, things they don’t necessarily learn in the classroom, things that are practical, things that they might want to do when they grow up,” explained Robinson. “They’re able to do something without the restrictions of a classroom. They can speak to professionals, people who have a deep knowledge of whatever the topic is.”
