Family Events
Keep learning and discovering outside of school hours with an event at your school or organization. Our expert educators will come to you with STEM activities that are hands-on science fun for learners of all ages. Our 90-minute family events are an exciting and interactive experience for students, parents, and your entire community. These programs are best for groups of 30-150 people, or double the size for up to 300 participants.
