The Da Vinci Science Center and Mack Trucks have teamed up to offer a Science Club all about manufacturing and engineering! Work alongside Da Vinci educators and real technicians and engineers from Mack Trucks to learn all about what it takes to make the biggest rigs on the road. Together, we’ll practice working with real tools, experiment with electricity, and tinker with a real dashboard straight off the production line! Tuition covers eight total sessions, including seven at the Da Vinci Science Center, plus an exclusive private tour of the Mack Museum in Allentown.
Registration is closed.

What if the Da Vinci Science Center didn’t exist?
Jane and her grandkids are sure glad it does. “If the Da Vinci Science Center didn’t exist, the kids wouldn’t have these opportunities to gain greater knowledge of science. Every parent wants to give their children the opportunity to achieve at their highest levels. By experiencing science at this level, kids are more encouraged, excited, and interested in STEAM fields.”
Join Jane and her family in supporting the Da Vinci Science Center tomorrow at 8 a.m. $10 can bring science to life for one under-served student. With Facebook’s #GivingTuesday match, $10 becomes $20 and one under-served student becomes two!
