NASA's Ames Research Center was one of the sponsors of the 10th annual "Reachout for the Rainbow After School Science Festival," held at the Bayview Opera House in San Francisco, Calif. Children were able to explore exhibits and hands-on science and technology activities, including displays from the Traveling Space Museum and the Exploratorium in San Francisco.
The free family community event supports NASA's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) efforts to reach out to underrepresented Bay Area students.
Reachout for the Rainbow After School is a nonprofit faith-based program located in the Bayview Hunters Point community and housed in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
