Special Programs with the Kentucky Science Center!
We're excited to work with the Kentucky Science Center to bring you two "Science Expo" programs later this month. The Push and Pull Early Childhood Science Expo on Monday, November 26, from 4:30-7:30pm is intended for ages 5-8 and includes five hands-on science activity stations in which children can explore the fantastic elements of physics! Explore with magnets, test out ramps, and build your own roller coasters! The next event, Captain Current vs. The Electricity Vampires, will be on Saturday, December 1, and is intended for children ages 6-12. Join us for a presentation at 11am to learn about electricity, where is comes from, and how you can help save it with Captain Current.  After the show, spend time with hands-on activity stations from 12:30pm-3pm to experiment with energy conservation! For both of these programs, registration is not required.
