CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Children’s Museum of Art and Science (CMAS) and the Yuba College Culinary Arts Program will be presenting “Tastes Around the World,”  featuring international street food, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30.

This event will be held at the new Aromas Café, Building B, on the Yuba campus. Music by Ear Reverence, a local a cappella group, and international-themed raffle baskets also will be a part of the evening.

Proceeds from this fundraiser will go to supporting the seventh annual CMAS Art and Science Camp slated for Saturday, May 4, 2013. The camp will take place at the Taylor Observatory and the Ely Stage Stop.

This year the Redbud Audubon Society is sponsoring a one hour raptor show as part of the camp. Students will be able to see rescued hawks, owls and other raptors up close and ask questions about these fascinating hunters.

CMAS also will use funds from this event to further develop their Lego Robotics Program.

Last year in a pilot program with the Konocti Unified School District, CMAS offered a two-hour hands-on robot workshop for each of the district’s K-8 schools.

More than 125 students in grades third through sixth attended. In addition, throughout the year, teachers at Lower Lake Elementary School were able to schedule their classes for robot sessions in the school library.

This year CMAS is working with the Riviera School in Kelseyville to bring robot experiences to their students. The CMAS program goal is to be able to work with all schools throughout the county.

CMAS is a volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to providing art and science experiences for the youth of Lake County. All CMAS events are free to all participants.

Tickets for “Tastes Around the World” are $20 and are available at Marie’s Feed in Clearlake, the Travel Center in Lakeport, the Aromas Café on the Yuba campus, or by calling 707-994-2878.
