Family Science Saturdays
When: Saturdays
Time 1:00 p.m - 3:00 p.m.
Ages: All ages welcome!
Join us in the new “Tinkering Studio” for hands-on building fun each Saturday lead by our tinkering gurus. Visitors work together on creative activities designed to spark curiosity and foster exploration. For example: make origami and Spirograph artwork; design and construct simple mechanical toys like tops, catapults and musical instruments; build marble "roller coasters" using tubes and ramps, or create "digital bling" using colorful LED lights, batteries and accessories. In February: learn about Tinkering with Spinning Tops. What makes them spin faster, longer, wobble?
ScholarShare College Savings Plan is a proud sponsor of Family Science Saturdays at the Fleet.
