Explore, learn, and connect at ScienceWorks!

 

From hands-on workshops to community celebrations, our events spark curiosity and bring people together. Join us for fun and discovery!

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)!

Shine On Band

After-party concert

April 25, 6:30 to 8:30 PM

SHINE ON BAND, based in Southern Oregon, is an improvisational cover band that celebrates the timeless music of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band.


Shine On thrives on improvisation, ensuring that no two performances are alike. This spontaneous approach means they rarely repeat songs over consecutive nights, making each show a unique experience.
