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)!

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.
