Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) come alive at Great Lakes Science Center, home of the NASA Glenn Visitor Center, Cleveland Clinic DOME Theater, and hundreds of other exhibits guaranteed to spark curiosity for kids and families of all ages.
The Science Center is heading outside for summer with our newest STEM adventure, Science Under the Sun! Tents overlooking NorthCoast Harbor are the place to be with large-scale tinkering, take-apart, and design challenges with rotating STEM themes.
Put your imaginations and engineering skills to work building structures, creating original stop-motion animations, and testing their design solutions to fun challenges. Daily activities will vary throughout the summer as each month focuses on a different STEM theme.
Advance tickets to the Science Center are recommended, but walk-up tickets are available at the box office. Visit GreatScience.com for more information on health and safety procedures, current hours of operation, and to purchase tickets.
