Amazon Presents Be the Scientist

This monthly event is free for program participants; MOST admission fees apply to parents and guardians.

This program runs on the last Saturday of every month from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm. For children grades K-8.

Be the Scientist allows visitors to learn about and explore the activities of a different scientist (discipline) each month. From marine biology to computer programming and beyond, the last Saturday of the month is a time for local STEM practitioners, faculty, and museum visitors to come together and explore new careers and frontiers in science and technology. Participants in this no-cost program are welcome to explore the museum after visiting the stations.
