DAYTONA BEACH — After her classmates helped hoist her high above the ground on a seat attached to a series of pulleys, Anna Strong grabbed the rope and sat watching silently as other children squealed with delight Friday in the Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum.<\/p>\n

She was one of about 160 children from St. James and Holly Hill Elementary School who got to try out the interactive science center during its grand opening at the Museum of Arts & Sciences.<\/p>\n

The 9,300-square-foot children’s museum features more than 15 hands-on exhibits where children can learn about principles of science, engineering and physics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
