Washington, D.C. Students Welcome “Science in the Summer” With Songs, Dances
The children at the Boys & Girls Club in Washington, D.C. were skeptical when they heard that they would be attending a science program for a week in July. “You could just tell, when the counselor said, ‘You’re going to science now,’ there was some apprehension in their faces,” said Francis Lotz, a fifth-grade teacher in Montgomery County, Maryland. “There wasn’t any real excitement about it.”

Inspired by Nature, Rubbery Robot Can Self-Camouflage
Researchers have developed a soft, flexible robot that can change colors to blend in or stand out in its environment.
A study in the 17 August issue of Science describes the device, which may be useful for research on animals’ camouflage and display behaviors. It also may inspire designs for machines that aren’t supposed to be noticed, such as those that operate in public spaces. Alternatively, these devices could be helpful in situations where a robot does need to stand out, such as a search and rescue operation in dimly lit conditions.
