Think Like a S.E.A.
Yom Kippur – Sept. 28

Think like…

Scientists by observing and studying the natural world around you…

Engineers by developing new ways to solve problems to help humanity…

Artists by helping others to see the world from a new perspective…

…Just like Leonardo da Vinci!

Throughout time, great thinkers from all over the globe have seen the world differently. To them, these skills are not separate, but completely connected and dependent upon one another. Join us for a VIP tour of BrickLive Ocean and practice looking at the world in a new way with hands-on activities that help you to think like the artists, engineers, and scientists who brought this exhibit to life.

Silly, Spooky Science
Columbus Day – Oct. 12

Jumpstart your Halloween celebrations with us this year and learn about how we can use different optical illusions to change how we see the world. Together, we will explore fun, silly-spooky ways to turn everyday items into things to help us get ready for October 31st. At the end of the day, everyone will work with simple electronic parts to build their own mini light-up jack-o-lantern that they can take home!

*For extra fun, join us in your Halloween costume!
