Receiving the “program-in-a-box” from Olivia Eltz, right, is Mendy Polchinski, member of the board of directors at The Discovery Center at Ridgefield.
Olivia Eltz, a 2013 Ridgefield High graduate, completed her Girl Scout Gold Award by creating a science program for The Discovery Center at Ridgefield.
She created a series of short video programs designed to encourage children to learn more about science by doing fun experiments with common household items.
The entire program which includes videos, instructional brochures and supplies, has been donated to The Discovery Center.
Alternatively, the complete set of videos have been loaded onto YouTube under the username Hands On Science.
