Get those lab coats ready! We’re learning through fun, with each class focusing on a different realm of the science world or famous figures in scientific history. Join us for games, art, and other activities to get those neurons firing.
We're exploring tornadoes and vortexes today! Join us as we make our own tornado tubes, vortex cannons, and more to learn how these massive wind tunnels work.
Discover the world below the water's surface! In this adventure, we're looking at tiny pond creatures up close and learning about the important roles they play in the ecosystem. Plus, build your own mini pond to take home!
This workshop is for children accompanied by an adult. Adults are expected to stay for the duration of the workshop – it is not a drop-off program.
Join us for an hour of animal fun! Each week we’ll learn about a different animal using games, art, animal artifacts (both real and replica), and more!
Join us for a crafy journey through the lesser known cats like the Serval, Kodkod, Oncilla, and Margay.
