Secret Genius
Everyone knows about famous scientists such as Albert Einstein, Nicola Tesla, and Galileo Galilei. But do we know who John Bardeen, the father of modern electrical circuits, is?

Keep it Cool
Join Kidsborough as we send off the summer by taking a polar plunge into some fun and chilly experiments.

What better way to beat the heat and wave out the summer than playing with ice and snow on a hot summer day?
