Science Saturday meets ‘Star Wars’
Children dig through Legos looking for parts for a Starfighter and supporting structures during Science Saturday’s “Star Wars” event at the Wheeler Taft Abbett Sr. Library in Marana. Kids and their parents got a chance to design and build a CD hovercraft or Death Star and engineer a Starfighter. Science Saturdays are held on the first Saturday of each month.

John Young, 11, tosses his CD hovercraft — a CD and a balloon — to help it fly as his mother, Melissa, supervises.
Five-year-old Clay Aubuchon tries his hand at operating a force detector he built at Science Saturday. The device was an experiment in static electricity.
