"The Science Factory is a vibrant and colorful place. It is full of fun
exhibits and hands-on activities. The building is always bustling with giddy
children running from fun thing to fun thing. It's a stellar place to
volunteer. They keep you busy, but not bored, and you're always doing
something different."
