Science programs plunge kids into 'Harry Potter' adventures
Friday, July 2, 2004

University Park, Pa. -- This summer on Penn State's University Park campus, young Harry Potter fans are experiencing magical adventures that cannot be found at the local movie theater.

After flocking to the third installment of the Potter movies -- expected to cross the $200-million mark by the end of this week -- devoted youngsters also have the opportunity to explore the "science behind the magic" in the state-of-the-art laboratories at Penn State.

The first session of Penn State's Action Potential Science Experience, "Another Wizard's World: Potions," wraps up today (July 2) in the chemistry department of the Eberly College of Science. Registrations are being accepted for a new Harry Potter-themed program, "The Adventure of the Apprentice's Stone," which will take place July 12-16 and again July 26-30. Information is available on the Web at http://www.ScienceCamps.psu.edu

More than 90 children, aged 9 to 14, already are enrolled in the first session, which allows Harry Potter fans to experience these stories first-hand. The program is back by popular demand this year after more than 130 young people filled the camp last year. Children will create all kinds of potions-slimy, gooey and fizzy-learn about levitation, and mix their own special elixirs and magical brews.

According to Action Potential Science Experience Director Rebecca Peterson, the program's summer offerings are providing a fun learning environment that enables children to learn more about science.

"The Harry Potter books are capturing the imaginations of our young people, so we are providing them with a stimulating context for learning about the science behind the magic," Peterson says.

She adds that children also learn about the history of science in the Action Potential programs -- how the introduction of new technologies over the years has turned "impossibilities" into realities.

Also in the Action Potential series, Penn State's "Mission to Mars" summer program runs July 19-23 and August 2-6. This program immerses participants in the fascinating world of space exploration and offers future astronauts the opportunity to design their own mission to the Red Planet.

"The Action Potential program has drawn participants from Maine to California, and we hope to serve over 400 students in our six offerings this summer," says Peterson. "We try to develop fun and interactive science experiences based on the topics that pique the interest of young people, whether it's crime scene investigations, news about spacecraft landings on Mars, or books and movies about a world of young wizards."
