NASA: Roving Rovers - Morning Session
Developed in partnership with NASA, we will think and act like NASA innovators during this hands-on program inspired by NASA OPSPARC. After receiving you mission notebook, you will design and build a Mars Rover. Your rover will be tested over various obstacles to ensure it can navigate Mars’ brutal terrain. From mission patches to engineering for space NASA Roving Rovers is out of this world!
LASERS AND OPTICS Afternoon Session
Become immersed in the world of lasers, light, and color! Discover how laser light differs from white light as we bend & shine beams of light all around the room and dissect white light with our special specs! Witness a small indoor fireworks display to show how different metals react to heat and learn about tricks our eyes play on us by experimenting with mirrors and optical illusions!
