Plus, students can explore the museum’s 50+ unique exhibits and see “Incredible Predators 3D”. Homeschool activities will run 10am-2pm, the museum will be open 10am-4pm.

Hands-on Activities
Stations run continuously from 10am-2pm

Crazy Contraptions
Explore the forces of gravity and friction while creating a contraption that will get a marble from the top of your pegboard to the bottom — the crazier and longer the ride, the better!

Bamboo Towers
Using only bamboo sticks and clay, engineer a bamboo tower that will stand tall on its own. How high can your tower go?

Hexbug Mazes
Build a maze for a robotic bug! Choose your building material (foam blocks or MagnaTiles), plan your path, add in a tunnel (cardboard tube) and see if your Hexbug can make it through.
