Do you have a boring week ahead of you? NOT ANYMORE! Check out the Cambridge Science Festival April 18th- 27th, 10 whole days of free fun! With over 100 different activities touching on subjects of science, technology, engineering, art and math there is something for just about everyone. Who doesn’t want to learn without the ball and chain debt. Maybe you don’t want to learn, but you can at least stare blankly at something other than your TV set. Who knows, perhaps it could be a date or something. What better place to kiss than a room full of robots or glassy (teary) eyed taxidermy animals with poor stitching.
