Science Happens Here is a scavenger hunt card game for kids in 3rd through 8th grades developed and implemented by Local First Arizona. The activity is part of the annual Arizona SciTech Festival. Students collect trading cards from local businesses that highlight the science behind their organization. The game is designed to engage kids to better understand the science that surrounds them everyday! Kids collect the cards at local businesses (no purchase necessary) and visit the Science Happens Here website to conduct science experiments at home using household items.
