Rocket Day
Saturday, July 27
10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Looking for a chance to perfect your mud pie? Not bugged by bugs? Or maybe feathers tickle your fancy. Either way, you will have a BLAST(-off) at one (or all!) of our summer events.
Celebrate each day with educator-lead programs, hands on drop in activities, and community partners!
Join our Rocket Day to celebrate space travel and the science that propels us! Build basic physical and chemical rockets, and countdown to blastoff as we launch a model rocket into the sky. We’re aiming high using physics, chemistry, imagination, and ingenuity!
