In what is possibly the weirdest conceivable (yet still tasteful, an important caveat) tie-in to Body Worlds 2, the Franklin Institute is creating a life-size Ben Franklin version of the Operation Game. Also note that The Franklin is teaming with MakePhilly and Hive76, which is a brilliant combination.

Early registration for the tournament is highly encouraged. Check-in on competition day begins at 10:30 and the tournament introduction will start at 11am sharp. WMGK-FM on-air personality Andre Gardner will guide contestants through each round leading up to the final event. There will be related make-n-takes and activities for young visitors. The event takes place in Franklin Hall at The Franklin Institute. For more information, log on to www.fi.edu .
