Discovery Gateway Children's Museum Health Fair - July 31st

On July 31st, Discovery Gateway Children's Museum held their Children's Health Fair. About 800 children and their accompanying adults visited the Museum and Health Fair for free thanks to the Museum's sponsors.

In addition to the fun learning that the Children's Museum offers, there were health professionals on hand to provide much needed free screenings. These included free screenings for glaucoma for adults and free vision screening for the kids, free hearing screening, mental health wellness screenings, dental screenings and even free yoga classes. 

There were also plenty of fun adventures. Kids of all ages could explore a giant inflatable brain, make their own stress ball, face painting and more. Mundi Project presented a free concert with Bomba Marilé.

I had a great time helping out with the activities and interacting with children and families when helping them make their own stress ball. This event went off without a hitch thanks to the organization of the Museum staff. From helping with set up at 7:00am until the last items were dropped off at 2:00pm, I couldn't have asked for a more fun and fulfilling day.
