Students looking for help on their science projects will be able to seek the advice of real-life experts during “Ask-A-Scientist Night” at Rancho San Joaquin Middle School. The event will be held from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 16. As in years past, students in grades six through 12 will have the opportunity to tap the expertise of practicing scientists and engineers from places like Beckman, Allergan, Rockwell, the Irvine Ranch Water District, UC Irvine, USC, Irvine Valley College, Chapman University and other local science-related firms and institutions. In addition, district science teachers will be on hand to assist. Attendance is free, but each child must be supervised by an adult for the entire evening. Rancho San Joaquin Middle School is located at 4861 Michelson Road. We have it on good authority -- and by "good authority" we mean the flier posted to the right -- that visitors may park on Michelson and Yale without being ticketed, even though it says "No parking." (This special privilege only applies to Ask-A-Scientist Night.) For more information, check out the flier, email jocelynjazwiec@iusd.org or call (949) 936-5057.
