Second Saturday Science at Challenger Colorado is about giving families time to do science together. We provide hands-on, content-rich activities designed to encourage thoughtful engagement, teamwork, critical thinking, and problem solving among family members. Activities are leveled for school-age students and their parents/guardians and are coupled with a planetarium show highlighting the Colorado night sky.
Plan on spending at least an hour at the center working through activities and viewing the planetarium presentation.
This event is free for families, but registration is required.
