Summer Day Camp 2010 -
Catapults, Coasters and Cars!
Imagination Station’s Summer Day Camp has just entered its 4th week and has given our campers a unique opportunity to learn about Aerospace, Industrial, Mechanical, Civil, Structural and Material Engineering.
In this weeklong camp, campers have been experiencing engineering through hands-on creative investigations, design challenges and building activities. They’ve invented, built rockets, catapults, zip-lines, bridges and even paper roller coasters. All week long campers prepare for a “Design Show” for the last day, so that visitors to Imagination Station can view their creations on site.
There are 2 weeks still remaining if your child is interested in attending this dynamic, exciting week of fun!
Cost is just $165 (Members), $195 (Non-Members)

The BIG DIG:
Footprints to Fossils
It’s a summer of discovery as we explore fossils! We’re digging up bones, reconstructing skeletons and testing your dinosaur knowledge. Visitors can dig through local Devonian era shale and find fossils that they can keep. They can make fossil rubbings, excavate bones and reconstruct dinosaurs. They can even spend some time exploring our interactive maze. Answer the questions right and find your way out. This summer we put the ROAR back in dinosaur!
Now through September 6, 2010

Hubble Space Telescope:
New Views of the Universe
The exhibition immerses visitors in the magnificence and mystery of the Hubble mission. A scale model of the HST is the focal point of the installation. “Satellite” units incorporate hands-on activities about how the telescope works, and a “Space/Time” section features Hubble’s contributions to the exploration of planets, stars, galaxies and the universe.
