DoE Science Ed Expo Coming to Detroit Next Year

The U.S. Department of Energy has asked Wayne State University to assist in its effort to turn around a trend showing American students falling behind other countries in math and science. To help stimulate middle school student interest in the physical sciences, the Department of Energy announced January 14 that an annual large-scale exposition program it launched last year in Chicago will move to Detroit next year. This year\'s \"What\'s Next\" event is in Albuquerque, N.M. Last October, more than 600 middle school students participated in the expo in Chicago.
