About this Event

Step into the Mad Science Lab and experience the excitement of hands-on science!

Join us for a special interactive session where we’ll work together to build Rube Goldberg machines—wacky contraptions that perform simple tasks in the most over-the-top ways! Along the way, kids will explore simple machines, inventions, and patents, discovering the science behind how things work.

🎟 Win big! We’ll be raffling off awesome prizes, including goody bags, lab coats, and even a free registration for one of our upcoming Friday Night Flash Camps!

🍪 Enjoy refreshments while you explore!

Mad Science delivers high-energy, hands-on STEM experiences designed to ignite curiosity in kids ages 5-12. Come see what we’re all about and get ready to spark your imagination!
