PAST PROGRAMS
 Below are some of the awesome events we've run at the science center!
​
July 2024 - Shark Week with Mr. Jack Casey!
We hosted a "jaw-some" Shark Week event with artifacts and tales from local shark expert Jack Casey! Mr. Casey initiated the Cooperative Shark Tagging Program in 1962, and has been tagging and observing sharks for more than 6 decades. Check out the photos from this "fintastic" event:
Our May 2024 Science Saturday was... Wild Weather! with Meteorologist Kate Danna-Crouch
Tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones! How do they become such wild weather? How do we know they are coming? Kate Danna-Crouch, a meteorologist who tracks weather for companies like AccuWeather, told us all about how weather patterns grow and what it's like to be a meteorologist! Everyone had a blast with their "Make & Take" Tornado activities! Check out some of the photos here:
