Family Game Night is a fantastic time to get together as a family or neighbors and play board games. We have a large variety of games, some are classics and some are new award winning games you will want to learn! All ages will have a blast on these evenings!
Wildlife on the Move is dedicated to helping people of all ages become more knowledgeable about their natural world and helping kids develop a true appreciation for nature. It’s a great presentation on snakes, reptiles, insects and other critters
Will Parker Music is a past favorite of ours. Will Parker is a children’s songwriter and teaching artist who writes and performs music for “kids ages 1-100.” During Will’s whimsical and interactive shows, he plays guitar and harmonica and sings original songs that engage the audience in singing-along, dancing, high-fiving, and imaginative play. Will also engages the kids in conversation about how every person can be creative and that writing a song is something they can do too.
Chemistry Road Show features Jim Pennington, a traveling Texas A&M University professor who uses things like foam gushing out of a tube and exploding objects in liquid nitrogen to show students that science can be fun and exciting. Using sensory impact, we hope students will learn that:
- chemistry, unlike magic, is comprehensible
- they already comprehend some of it
- chemistry is a human activity, one that real people love and find exciting
- chemistry and chemicals, like any other kind of knowledge and technology, are safe and beneficial when used carefully and intelligently
