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)!

Observer — Film Screening
Sunday, July 27
4 to 6 PM
Free admission to film
Drinks and snacks available for purchase
Join us for a free screening of Observer.
Filmmaker Ian Cheney brings scientists, artists, and a hunter to unknown locations and asks them to describe what they see. What unfolds is a deep exploration and celebration of the power of observation: what happens when you find new ways to sense & perceive the world around you?
Seats are general admission and may go fast, so reserve ahead — and stay curious!
