EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN - There were activities for children of all ages at the fourth annual Michigan State University Science Festival.

The festival, which took place in East Lansing and Lansing April 12-17, focused on demonstrations and interactive presentations related to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, which is also known as S.T.E.A.M.

One event, called 'A Smashing Time with Nuclei", was hosted by Zach Constan, Outreach Coordinator for the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. His interactive presentation allowed children to create new nuclei by using protons and neutrons made out of magnetic marbles.

Constan was eager to present at the festival as he is extremely passionate about the sciences field.

"It's thrilling to have the opportunity to share what we do, not just us at the Cyclotron, but the whole MSU science community, with the local community," Constan said. "Of course people are coming from a long way away. We want people to know what's going on here; it's very exciting."

Another interactive activity called "Training Like An Astronaut" gave people the opportunity to see how astronauts keep fit in space.

"They don't have to be individuals who are going to be going up in to space to benefit from understanding about this," Deborah Feltz, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Kinesiology at MSU said.

While the festival ended here in town, its next stop is in Detroit from Tuesday, April 19 until April 24.
