STEAM Socials
Every Second Friday
Every second Friday of the month, we invite the community to hang out at the museum for a multigenerational evening of science, creativity, and fun. Enjoy a variety of beverages, including wine, beer, and non-alcoholic options, while participating in a different hands-on activity or workshop each month. These social evenings are open to all ages, making them perfect for families, friends, and anyone curious about exploring the world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics)!

Upcoming Special Events
STEAM Social:
Spring Fling
May 9, 6 to 8 PM
Join us for a hands-on event celebrating the joys of sustainable gardening! Plant a seed to take home for your garden—or gift it to someone special in honor of Mother’s Day. Be sure to catch one of our pollinator presentations:
The Truth About the Birds and the Bees, by ScienceWorks' new executive director,
Gabriela Chavarria! This presentation will be given twice, once at 6:15 and again at 7:15 PM. Whether you're new to gardening or already have a green thumb, this is a fun and meaningful way to celebrate growth, community, and care.
Sparking Action: A Community Wildfire Education Day
May 10, 10 AM to 4 PM
You're invited to a day of hands-on learning and community connection! Join us on Saturday, May 10, as we explore the science of fire, wildfire prevention, and the ways communities across the Rogue Valley are working together for a healthier future.
Presented by the Southern Oregon Forest Restoration Collaborative
Volcano:
A Science Comedy Show
Sunday, May 25, 6 to 8 PM
Ages: 18+
$15 members | $20 non-members
Come watch as scientist-turned-comedian Ben Miller explores volcanology, entomology, Hawaiian history, cats, cookies, and more, with plenty of laughs along the way! Ben has made people laugh in front of a burning lava lake, and he is not afraid of you.
While this is an adults-only show, kids ages 4 and up can join our volcano-themed mini-camp next door!
Tickets for the comedy show and mini-camp are sold separately.
Volcano Camp:
An Evening Camp for Kids
Sunday, May 25, 6 to 8 PM
Ages: 4 and up
$15 members | $20 non-members
While Ben Miller’s Volcano: A Science Comedy Show serves up laughs (and lava facts) for adults, kids ages 4 and up can join our volcano-themed mini-camp next door. Campers will build their own salt-dough volcanoes, then make them erupt for their grown-ups after the show.
Tickets for the comedy show and mini-camp are sold separately.
