This month’s SciTech topic will explain how we get different colors when we mix paint or when we mix light. Why do our TV’s and computer screens only have red, blue, and green LED’s in them but we get all the colors of the rainbow? We’ll mix light and separate markers to see what’s behind our favorite colors. Bring home your own artwork made via chromatography!
