Marc Speigel took Albert Einstein out of the science books and put him onstage in an interactive science show that kept Roberto Clemente Middle School students on the edge last month, according to an e-mail from AnneMarie Smith, assistant school administrator.
"Students particularly enjoyed being able to ask ‘Einstein' questions about his life and theories and the fact that he invited teachers and students on stage to be part of the performance," she wrote to The Gazette.
The event was at BlackRock Center for the Arts in Germantown.
Cheers for Neelsville
