Members of PPL Electric Utilities Ice Cream Wars team stopped by the Science Center last night to practice making their new recipe. It looks pretty tasty. Come to Ice Cream Wars Jan. 5 and give it a try.

Our friends at B104 are looking for ice cream flavor suggestions for their Ice Cream Wars recipe. Anyone know a good flavor?

Do you know a student who is passionate about science? If so, they could be a candidate for our Hall of Fame Awards. Each year, the Science Center recognizes four exceptional high school students who have demonstrated a passion for the sciences both in-and-out of the classroom. Each student receives a $2,000 scholarship. Nominate a student https://wp.me/P9QlDL-bxG

Icicles form when melting snow and ice re-freeze in the cold air, creating a natural decoration.

Winter break is all about the coolest science. During Super Cool Science camps Dec. 26-28, campers will learn about the chemical reactions that make things cold, and how the cold affects animals, people, and the planet. If you are looking for childcare during those days, send them to the Center. https://wp.me/P9QlDL-iOj

How much of an iceberg is above the water? How much is below? Float real-ice ‘bergs’ to see if size, shape or salt/fresh water makes a difference during our Little Learner Activity on Monday, Dec. 3 from 10:30 a.m.- 1:30 p.m. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/2JnoiQS. #LittleLearners

A very warm thank you to everyone who supported giving the gift of science to underserved children in the area. Yesterday, for #GivingTuesday, we raised a total of $2,695! This is equivalent to providing a field trip to the Da Vinci Science Center for over 250 students! Now, these students will receive STEM learning opportunities who would not be able to enjoy them without your support.

Let us continue to spread generosity and bring science to life and lives to science. Thank you for helping inspire the futures of tomorrow’s scientists, inventors, and engineers!

#GivingTuesday may be over, though the season of giving is just beginning. Give the gift of science today in 3 easy ways:
