Our next free MIT campus Science on Saturday event will be 'How the Internet Works' at 10:00 a.m. on April 1st.

This show will be presented by Akamai.

Volunteers from the audience will be able to assist with fun on-stage demonstrations showing how computers and the internet work.

After the stage show, there will be many different hands-on activity tables where kids can create their own computer programs, build electric circuits, and do other experiments.

There is also half-price, same-day admission to the MIT Museum for Science on Saturday attendees.

All of our Science on Saturday events on the MIT campus are free and open to all K-12 students, as well as their parents and teachers.

They are sponsored by the MIT Museum and the Akamai Foundation.
