Explore their approaches and experiment with your own “STEAM” ideas by observing, predicting, building, testingand creating.

Family Days inspire wonderment about the natural world in families and kids of all ages (0–18 years old).

You’ll explore these topics through hands-on activities including creative take-home crafts, up-close observations, play-based activitiesand experiments.
