Look out 007 - the Mad Science spy academy is in session! From decoding messages to metal detectors and night vision, kids will have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and even create their own edible messages. They will use the Secret Code Breaker to communicate in code just like real spies.
With the Undercover Observer, children step into the shoes of spies in action. What looks like an ordinary camera is actually a sneaky surveilance device that lets children spy on the side.
For ages 5 to 10. Produced by Mad Science of St. Louis and held at The Lodge of Des Peres.
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. More information: desperesmo.org
