Curiosity Hour: Fairy Tales Gone STEM

View 2023 Curiosity Hour: Out of this World! Event

Think fairy tales have nothing to do with science, technology, engineering and math? Think again! Join us for Curiosity Hour where you and your family immerse yourselves in the fairy tales and curiosity alike. Come use your coding skills to program a rescue robot to locate and then guide a lost character to safety; design a rocket capable of landing in a world far, far away; and meet and greet our special characters such as Cleopatra the bearded dragon, Garrus the snake, and a family of hissing cockroaches that will amaze and delight!
