Explore the fun of science, technology, engineering, art, and math through hands-on activities
Summer may signal the end of school for D.C. area students, but it is still a time when kids and families can learn — and have fun while doing it! Visit the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center for an engaging day of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). The accomplishments of the first century of flight — and the groundbreaking achievements currently underway in aviation, human spaceflight, and planetary exploration -- are not possible without STEAM principles. Explore this intersection of STEAM and aerospace with hands-on activities and STEAM professionals working in the field.
Activities include:
Learn how to code, build, invent, and animate with Boolean Girl (11 am,12 pm, 1 pm, and 2 pm)
Safely look at the Sun with a solar telescope
Create structures that are works of art
Learn to program robots that can travel to other planet
Explore 60 years of NASA with associate administrator for human exploration and operations Bill Gerstenmaier.
