Summer Internship Fair

I'm planning on being away this summer, but I thought I'd take a look at the internship fair anyway for future reference.  I was impressed at the number of organizations present there.  There was the red cross and a few newspapers and people in enviornmental sciences and health and biology and journalism and a lot of other subject areas as well.  And most everyone was in suits and it looked very offical and spiffy.  So, nothing for me this year, but maybe in the future.

COSI After Dark

I haven't been to COSI in a whiles, so it was fun to go again.  It's mostly the same as I remember it being since renovation (I've always liked Progress and Ocean a lot and they're still fun to go through.  Being a history nerd, I enjoy walking through recreation villages and Progress has some pretty authentic bits and bobs lying around.  And Ocean has water that you can splash other people with.  What more do you need?).  Usually I've gone with the specific intent of seeing this, but this time I more wandered around and occasionally read things and poked buttons, which made it more of a social experience than educational, but I've always been impressed with COSI's ability to subtly teach you things, even if you aren't paying that much attention.  Of course it's mostly basic concepts and shows kids the cool things that can be involved in sciene and exploration, but I still learn things from it every time I go.  I think I spent the most time in the anatomy/body section of COSI this time, so that's likely where I picked up the most information this time.
