Join us for Spring into STEAM, a vibrant, hands-on event where science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) collide. Explore our interactive exhibits and dive into exciting hands-on activities that blend the best of art and science.

WEEK 1 (MAR 8-13) ACTIVITIES

Spring Thaumatropes - Explore the idea of persistence of vision through the creation of a thaumatrope. This visual illusion occurs when the human eye continues to perceive an image even after it briefly disappears.
