Due to limited space, please register for an entry time: 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, or 11:30 am.  Each time slot is limited to 30 participants.  Stay as long as you like.  Activities are self-paced and open-ended and appropriate for ages 5-adult.  Please note that events will be cancelled if there is rain.  Registration is required to reserve your place and to receive updates about weather or event changes.  

Please note: These are smaller, single-activity pop-ups, not full-scale events. Our goal is to offer more frequent, casual opportunities for the public to explore science right in the community.  We expect most attendees to stay for 15-30 mins.
