You never know when one of these kids may save your life! They learned how to respond in an emergency situation to an individual who is not breathing or who’s heart stopped beating, last weekend in Piedmont Park.

Students from Kennesaw State University demonstrated the proper way to administer CPR at last Saturday's Atlanta Science Festival in Piedmont Park. The Kennesaw exhibit was just one of over 100 hands-on, interactive science exhibits.

Numerous colleges, universities and corporations participated at the well-attended event, sponsored by Delta Airlines. And the kids seemed to have a great time saving lives at the Kennesaw exhibit or hearing and seeing those "dummies" come alive! It was a "thriller" for sure, of course the "dummies" went right back to being dead once the kids left and a new group joined for the instructions.
