Ten things to Do this April at the CT Science Center:
1. Exploration Camps:
April 19 - 20, 22 - 23: 8:30 AM – 4 PM
When school is out, SCIENCE is in! The Connecticut Science Center's day camps are designed for grades 1-8 and provide enhancing, hands-on ways to discover the exciting world of science. Click here.
Monday, April 19 – Discover the Ends of the Earth
Tuesday, April 20 – Earth Day-Keep it Clean!
Thursday, April 22 – Lost In Space
Friday, April 23 – Electricity, Magnetism and Beyond
2. See Ends of the Earth: From Polar Bears to Penguins before it melts away! OPEN until APRIL 25.
Explore this featured exhibit while you can. Massive landscapes, depicting the austere beauty of these frozen and extremely fragile expanses, provide striking backdrops for the more than thirty exhibits - each combining interactive artifacts and hands-on learning activities for all ages. Waddle and slide like a penguin, meet a polar bear face-to-face and more!
3. Encounter Dinosaurs in 3D: April 10-25
Come face-to-face with these monstrous historical creatures, who are back from extinction for school vacation weeks only in Dinosaurs Alive 3D! Watch the earliest dinosaurs of the Triassic Period to the giants of the Cretaceous. Ages 8 and up.
4. Celebrate Earth Week: April 18-24
Our LIVE SCIENCE program will focus all week on environmental activities throughout the exhibit galleries. Use a seismograph, try your hand in core sampling, explore alternative energy sources, test water samples, experience the crushing force of air, learn more about UV rays and more.
5. Take a GREEN walking tour: April 19-26
Explore and discover all of the environmental components that helped the Connecticut Science Center earn a GOLD LEED certification for our facilities with a self-guided building-wide walking tour during GREEN Week
6. Tour a hydrogen fuel cell bus: April 21
On April 21 from 1:30 - 3:30 PM, you can learn all about the clean energy-driven locally-engineered CT Transit Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus with, which will be located outside the Science Center on Columbus Boulevard. Also, learn how a hydrogen fuel cell powers the Science Center in the Energy City exhibit and see the real thing outside on Grove Street.
7. Get Fit by Clowning Around: April 24, 11:30 AM & 1:00 PM
Join Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey clowns as they use recycled items to help you get fit with Circusfit Gone Green.
8. Be on Television and Create Your own Weather Forecast.
Take advantage of the opportunity to be on LIVE television as you watch WFSB Meteorologist Mark Dixon's weather forecast LIVE from the Science Center. Plus create your own weather forecast and send it to your friends online. Visit the weather exhibit in the Planet Earth Gallery on the 6th floor of the Science Center.
9. Operate and Challenge a Robot.
Visit our FIRST Robotics exhibit and test your skills against a real robot. Learn about the exciting national competition and see one of the 2008 winning robots, from Hartford.
10. Visit Energy City
Calculate your carbon footprint, play "energy watt" pinball, and explore alternative sources of energy such as solar, wind, hydropower, fuel cells and more in Energy City.
