Program Description
Event Details
Take a wild ride with Maynard Okereke, the Hip Hop MD, into the fascinating and strange world of science, and all the ways it can make the world a better place. We’re excited to present a second, downtown event with this fun and popular author. Take the trolley to the Central Library this Spring Break for some science fun with Maynard Okereke!
Including hands-on demonstrations intended for grade-school and middle-grade readers, this fun author presentation of Zombie Spiders and Asteroid Blasters will supercharge your curiosity for the world around you. This event includes an author presentation, science demonstration, Q&A and book signing, intended to be enjoyed primarily by families with readers aged 8 – 14 (though all are welcome). Join us at the Denny Sanford Children’s Library and don’t forget to order your book early to guarantee a signed copy! All books will be available for pickup at the Children’s Library during the event, and proceeds support the San Diego Public Library.
