Event Navigation
3…2…1… Blast off! Discover the wonders of outer space as you build and launch your own high-flying rocket that is out of this world.
Join us for hands-on science experiments and sensory-rich projects in workshops specially designed for children, ages 5–7, with autism spectrum disorder and their parents and siblings.
Science Scouts workshops include a small teacher-to-student ratio as students practice focusing/concentration, social cognition, collaboration/teamwork, listening/comprehension skills and more. Our educators are trained to work with kids with differences.
These free workshops provide opportunities to enjoy family time at the museum in a welcoming, safe and understanding environment, allow parents to network with one another, and help families discover the wonder of science learning together. Materials will include visual schedules, a communication booklet and more.
Sometimes creativity can get messy, so please dress your young scientist (and yourself) in old clothing that can be splattered.
