Science Celebrations bring science to life by providing your guests with exciting hands-on activity stations.
Encourage a sense of play, experimentation, and wonder with the Da Vinci Science Center! Investigate size and quantity through fun, hands-on station activities. Use materials in ways you never have before to complete a photography challenge and even create your own musical instrument!
Perspective Photography: Play with scales and proportions in photography challenges to make objects appear to be different sizes based on how close or far away from the camera they are.
Scale it Down: Use MathLink® cubes as standardized units of measurement to make your own measurement of how big different buildings and structures are compared to how tall you are! Make scaled down models of sights you may see at a festival.
Balancing Act: Use balancing scales to help a performer come up with the perfect assortment of objects to balance for their balancing act.
Musical Proportions: Explore the science of how simple pipes can make different sounds with Joia Tubes™ and use what you learn to challenge yourself to make your own pipe instrument!
With the Da Vinci Science Center, exploring space is out of this world! Use a real telescope and discover the Earth’s size and place among the planets. Fun, hands-on activity stations take future cosmic adventurers on a tour through our solar system.
