Spring Break Single-Day Camps begin April 3rd! Sign up now!
We've transformed the Lab into a Cherry Blossom Festival Celebration! 🌸🌸
Examine cherry blossoms through the eyes of a scientist. Observe capillaries in action at the Experiment Bar, fold paper into petals, then test how well they flutter in the wind tunnel in the Tinker Shop, and explore the science and history of cherry blossoms as you embark on a scavenger hunt throughout the Lab!
Ring in 2020 in STEM style with kid-engineered noisemakers and confetti throwers for a celebration your whole family can enjoy!

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
