Sci-Tech Discovery Center Presents Pizza Science at Russo’s on May 18

April 29, 2011 (Frisco, Texas) – Sci-Tech Discovery Center will be presenting an evening of Pizza Science at Russo’s Coal-Fired Italian Kitchen, located at 700 E. Campbell Rd in Richardson, TX, on Wednesday, May 18 from 6:00 until 9:00 pm.  A percentage of proceeds this evening will be donated back to Sci-Tech to support its hands-on discovery experiences in science, math and technology.

During dinner, diners will be introduced to the science and math behind pizza making with scheduled demonstrations The Physics of Pizza Tossing (6:15 and 7:15 pm) and Coal-Fired Kitchen Chemistry (6:45 and 7:45 pm).  Did you know that how a chef tosses pizza dough reveals insight into the motors used in microactuation technology?

This unique fundraiser is one of many innovative events scheduled during the month of May, which is designated as Sci-Tech’s Mind-Stretching Fund month. “Sci-Tech values innovation and creativity,” says Stephanie Crean, Education Director. “There are so many opportunities to provide math and science experiences with pizza. We’ll encourage diners to measure the area of their pizza , calculate the price per slice, determine the diameter and more.”

"Russo's is honored that Sci-Tech Discovery Center has asked us to be a part of their Mind Stretching fund month featuring a “Pizza Science” learning experience. Since pizza is a large part of our business, this is an easy and fun way for us to serve as an educational partner for kids in our community.” Says Chris DeMers, General Manager.
