Science Saturdays are hosted in partnership with the Challenger Learning Center of Northern Nevada, a nonprofit organization that fosters positive learning experiences and creates long-term interest for students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Each monthly event features a different theme relating to space and technology, where participants can become an astronaut or scientist for the day. Upcoming experiences include a simulated journey to the moon, Mars and beyond in one of only two advanced spaceflight labs in the country, as well as a simulated deep sea journey to discover the Titanic.
“Our goal is to educate, captivate and provide unique experiences for our visitors,” said Jackie Frady, museum president and executive director.
Families can enjoy Science Saturdays presented by the CLCNN on the second Saturday of every month from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The museum’s partnership with the CLCNN furthers its mission to provide interactive learning opportunities and STEM education to its members and guests.
