The Children’s Museum of Discovery Hosts Science & Engineering Night, July 19

by | Events

The Children’s Museum of Discovery, formerly the San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum, is thrilled to host its annual Science & Engineering Night on Saturday, July 19, from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m.

 

This after-hours event provides families with the opportunity to participate in hands-on science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and math (STREAM) activities. Through a wide range of science and engineering topics, children ages 4- to 10-years are offered early exposure to STREAM education.

 

Throughout the event, children will engage in more than 15 interactive activities like learning about robotics and coding with Magikid Robotics Lab, exploring a firetruck with the Escondido Fire Department, meeting real scientists and engineers, and more. Plus, families won’t want to miss discovering kinesiology through dance with Lovely Leaps Dance Studio.

 

“At the Museum, we pride ourselves on creating authentic hands-on learning experiences that spark a love of learning,” said Christina Piranio, CEO of The Children’s Museum of Discovery. “Through events, such as Science & Engineering Night, we’re providing families with opportunities to build foundational skills in STEM education while fostering a natural wonder about all things, from archaeology to electrical circuits! We are so grateful to all the community partners who will be sharing their related expertise on the day.”

 

The Museum’s STREAM programs and events are an introduction to science and engineering for many families, particularly economically disadvantaged families, who may not have access to these hands-on programs at home. Through unique themes, such as Science & Engineering Night, the Museum is able to provide hands-on curriculum that sparks an innate curiosity in the world and a future love of learning.

 

Pre-registration is required for this event. Tickets are $12 for members and $17 for non-members. Special discounts are available for military and veteran families and families with EBT/WIC/SNAP.
