STEM Explorers – Daily at 11:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. and Wednesday and Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
Bring your STEM Explorer to LaunchPAD and join our Discover Guides to explore the museum’s weekly themes. Each activity focuses on STEM principles and fosters problem solving and creativity. Children will utilize their critical thinking skills and collaborate with other children to encourage developmental skills and growth. With each activity you attend, your Explorer will get a stamp on their Learning Passport! Once they have received ten stamps they are able to choose a surprise from our treasure chest. The passport expires after three months, so make sure you come to enjoy the activities often.
No registration needed.
