Step into a world where your eyes play tricks on your brain! At the Mercer County Library's West Windsor Branch, kids ages 6–11 will explore the science behind optical illusions through hands?on activities, surprising visuals, and creative challenges. Young scientists will discover how the brain interprets shapes, colors, and patterns—and why it sometimes gets things hilariously wrong. From shifting images to impossible objects, this program turns curiosity into "Wait... how is that even happening!" moments. For ages 6-11, youngest with a caregiver. Sponsored by the Friends of the West Windsor Library. Registration is required.
