We are cancelling our 2nd annual Science in the Park events due to Coronavirus concerns. We plan to bring you this event again next year.
Time: 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Location: Music Bowl in Tolosa Park
Hands-on activities include guided hikes, solar printing, DNA extraction, crystal chemistry, experimentation of ocean and climate, science of the brain and body and much more.
This event is a great opportunity to share the fun SciPub style with the family! So come and learn and play in the park.
