Elizabeth City, NC — Port Discover’s Afterschool Science presents “1 + 1 Equals Achoo!,” a kid’s health awareness program, on Thursday, March 24 from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm. Dr. Maille Lyons, from Old Dominion University, presents the unique interactive game illustrating how sickness can spread through a community. Children will also learn what can be done to prevent the germs from spreading and stay healthy!
The program, “1 + 1 Equals Achoo!” is made possible thanks to a grant from National Science Foundation and National Institute of Health’s joint Ecology of Infectious Diseases program to Old Dominion University. Afterschool Science is Port Discover’s free, interactive science program featuring a different and timely topic each month. This afterschool science program is made possible thanks to support from the City of Elizabeth City. No reservations are necessary.
