Saturday, Bostonist checked out the Science Carnival at MIT, the kickoff event to the nine-day Cambridge Science Festival, and decided to take some pictures of the action. There were plenty of opportunities for kids to get involved with science, and if the reaction of one girl during the Cool Science Live demonstration ("I LOVE science!") was any indication, it sounds like we have a few budding scientists—and science writers—on our hands. We'll be attending several other Cambridge Science Festival events all week, so stay tuned!
