All wound up with nothing to do? Swing by the Exploratorium
for the 2007 California State Yo-Yo Championships, and meet national
and world yo-yo champions. Learn amazing tricks including Atom
Smasher, Boingy Boingy, and Walk the Dog. Don’t miss the
main attraction: the freestyle divisions, where players take
to the stage and perform a synchronized three-minute routine
set to music.
At noon, join Exploratorium host Ron Hipschman,
and learn how a little double disk with a string attached is
an amazing apparatus for studying the physics of motion. Ron
will delve into the science behind all the spinning with expert
Doc Watson. Then be astounded by the tricks of Doc Popular!
This event is sanctioned by the American Yo-Yo Association.
Registration is open to the public. Winners will qualify for
next year’s regional tournament. For more information,
