Now that we've been open for two weeks, it's time to announce our June events! Click below to find out about what's happening at Spark Science Center this month. We invite you to join us in making polarized light sandwiches, and making rockets in honor of Women in Engineering Day. These events are FREE with admission, so take a look at our exhibits while you're here!

We're also getting excited about summer camps taking place here during June and July! Though our camps have reached capacity, you can still add your name to the waitlist. You never know when a spot might open up! >> thegracemuseum.org/grace-academy
