If you are the parent of a child say 3 or older, are pulling your hair out trying to keep him or her entertained on the long chilly weekends, you might want to head to the Whitaker Center for Science & the Arts in Harrisburg.

You can smash and texture pennies, put together a golf cart and trolley car, squirt liquid into molds and die-cut your own horse or box.
It made me wonder if the folks who work in factories -- as engineers, designers or right on the manufacturing floor -- aren't having all the fun.

That looks awesome! I'll have to check it out!
