Discovery Science Center Orange County’s Discovery Science Center has seen more than 2 million visitors since it opened in December 1998. Dedicated to educating young minds, assisting teachers and increasing the understanding and appreciation of science, math and technology, DSC reaches a child’s imagination through innovative and interactive programs. Julie Smith, public relations manager, says, “Our education outreach program is the 7th-largest in the nation among science and technology centers.” DSC served more than 220,000 students last year. Visitors are treated to more than 100 themed exhibits. And space fans can explore a fully outfitted Delta III Rocket’s 2nd Stage, as well as the crew compartment of a Space Shuttle. Leslie Perovich, vice president of marketing, says an exciting new exhibit will examine women and their significant contributions to science. “The Women in Science exhibit will even look at the science of makeup,” says Perovich. “We want to make this birthday celebration very special. We have some events planned that are going to be a lot of fun for all our young scientists.” DSC is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m., every day. Admission is $9.95 for kids ages 3-17; $12.95 for adults; and free for kids under 3. (discoverycube.org) Jared Fogle of SUBWAY It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 10 years since Jared Fogle first announced the dramatic details of his weight loss to the world. At 425 pounds, Jared had tried and failed at dozens of diets until he embarked on a reduced-calorie plan that included eating 2 submarine sandwiches a day from SUBWAY. The result was a whopping 245-pound weight loss for Jared – and an innovative ad campaign for SUBWAY that had many rethinking their diet plans. Since that first commercial, millions of Americans have joined Jared’s battle of the bulge – with their collective efforts reaching a combined weight-loss total of 160,000 pounds. Jared has recently announced his plans to partner with New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan to launch a program for The Jared Foundation, which will equip parents and kids with the tools to fight childhood obesity. fam Marie Loggia-Kee is a contributing writer to OC Family Magazine.
