Learn about matter, gas laws and chemistry as you create a hot air balloon that flies up and away. For children and their families.

Space limited. Reservations required.

Note to self: have the heat gun setting on low even if there is a long line of children staring holes into you. Coolest program from the STEM batch. You have thrills, cinematic tai chi leaps from seniors and balloons floating away. Now it's the program that I measure all other programs against. KS

Science

Gain a new perspective on and understanding of the world through programs on the sciences.
