Space After Dark: Mad Science – Fri. Oct. 14, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
We will be playing with the weird and wonderful, exploring fun and edgy mad science experiments. For those 21+ only, the evening includes two drink tickets, light bites and admission to the event for $15. Guests are encouraged to dress as their favorite mad scientist.
Tesla’s Toolbox: 3D Design and Printing – Sat. Oct. 15, 10:00 a.m. – noon
3D printing is a popular topic now, but is rarely seen in action. During this Toolbox, participants will learn how simple it can be to create a 3D model. We will also learn how 3D printers work as they create new models in real time. Space is limited for this workshop, so pre-registration is recommended and can be done here: http://bit.ly/2dyzt9N. Tesla’s Toolbox is included in regular Discovery Center admission.
The Space Foundation Discovery Center offers events for all ages every month. The event calendar can be viewed at www.discoverspace.org/events.
