Get Excited About Science!

Science Festivals give students the opportunity to be scientists with 12 hands-on activities.  Imagination Station comes to your school, day or night, to give students and parents a chance to explore science.

Choose from the UPDATED themes below:

Earth and Space

Updated! Grades Pre K - 10

The perfect way to prepare for the Great American Solar Eclipse 2024!

Students will have an out-of-this-world experience as they explore the solar system and beyond. They will discover how stars are born, learn facts about the objects in our solar system, model the moon's phases and explore how objects orbit each other. Get ready to have a BLAST!

Forces and Motion

Grades Pre K - 10

Forces, motion, engineering...oh my! Students will explore Newton's Three Laws of Motion and the Engineering Design Process as they experiment with magnets, rockets and creating a machine that will transport a marble.

Structures

Grades Pre K - 10

Students will become structural engineers as they explore how science, shapes and math combine to create amazing architecture.  Old favorites such as creating earthquake resistant homes, Roman arches and geodesic domes are combined with NEW challenges of creating wind proof towers and bridges out of unusual material.
