Atrium Explorers is BACK!🔬✨

Starting this Saturday, September 5, our monthly program returns on the first Saturday of every month with fun activities for curious young minds!

Ready to test your inner engineer?

We’re kicking things off with catapult making! Young makers will experiment with tension, leverage, and trajectory as they construct their own working popsicle stick catapults and put them to the test. It’s a morning full of trial, error, and high-flying fun! 🚀

Atrium Explorers is included with general admission and free for Exploreum members. 💙

Apparently, “birdbrain” might not be much of an insult after all. 🐦🧠

In fact, some feathered friends are capable of learning a pretty surprising skill!

Take a look at this week’s “Explore… um?? Did You Know?” and tell us in the comments: Do you think your pet could learn to read? 📖

Ever taken a bite of a cold sweet treat and suddenly felt that all-too-familiar pain? 🧠🥶

Brain freeze may only last a few seconds, but there’s some pretty cool science behind that sudden jolt of discomfort.

Take a look at this week’s “Explore… um??” to find out what’s really happening when a frozen treat fights back!

Working our 9 to 5’s just as Dolly intended ✨

Dolly Parton inspired generations through not only her music, but her dedication to children’s literacy and learning. As a science center, that’s a mission especially close to our hearts. 💙

Thank you, Dolly, for helping show generations of kiddos just how special learning can be. 💙

Have you ever heard your voice in a video or recording and thought, “Is that really how I sound!?” 🎙️😳

Turns out, there’s a little science behind why your recorded voice can sound so different from the one you hear every day!

Take a look at this week’s Explore… um?? to find out why your own voice might sound a little strange coming through a speaker compared to what you normally hear.👂
