Upcoming Events
Bring your imagination and creativity to the Science Mill! Think outside the box and use your engineering skills to build and create unique items using only cardboard, all inspired by our monthly themes. This month's theme is Arctic Animals!
To mark our 10-year milestone, we're rolling out something truly special with our friends, the Tinplate Trackers of Austin: a stunning display of model trains! Explore intricate, miniature landscapes, watch as these tiny trains zip around detailed tracks, and discover the science and engineering behind these mechanical marvels.
Guests will explore different natural disasters, and the engineers that are responsible for designing and creating structures and tools that can help communities survive against them. Activities include building structures that can survive earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides just to name a few!
Join us at the Science Mill for Engineering Weekend! Tinker, create, and think outside the box as they engage with exciting hands-on activities. With special guests ASCE on February 15.
The Human Body is a complex system, with many different functions and structures. Guests will create model knee braces and lungs, and faculty from UT Austin will lead different student workshops that explore blood coagulation!
Earth is our home, and there’s a lot to learn about it! Guests will learn about fault lines, rocks, and water on this Homeschool Day! Activities include creating water filters, an improv game about geology, and more!
