Open Door at West campus creates smiles
Visitors to the third ASU Open Door event are delighted by demos, experiments, activities and all manner of fun
Toothbrush robots. Black widow spider webs. Sparky practicing CPR. Open Door at West campus on Saturday really had it all.
At the third event in the Open Door series, visitors learned about anatomy, handwriting analysis and communication; made bracelets and painted masks; played games and had a ton of fun learning about what the schools and units of ASU are working on.
