Super Science Saturday: Up, Up, and Away!

Saturday, July 20, 10:30 am – 5 pm

Spend the day experimenting with the physics and fun of air. Make kites to fly outside in Science Park and capture the power of air by building gliders, rockets, and parachutes at the Science Discovery Lab. It promises to be an uplifting day!
