EcoTinker Science Stations

March 12 – May 31 | OPEN DAILY

Explore the connection between STEM, nature and you at our science stations. Learn how scientists “do science” in the field. Grab your Science Notebook and explore 6 interactive stations as you make observations, design an experiment, and collect data.

Stop by Nature Exchange to share what you learned and discover different outdoor science careers. Plus, find out how you can put your new skills to work and help scientists by getting involved in community science projects.

>> Explore and participate in community science projects.

>> EcoTinker Science Stations open at the Flying into the Future Family Fun Day.

>> EcoTinker stations were designed for 8-12 year old scientists. Younger scientists will be able to complete some of the activities with help from an adult or older sibling. Some activities involve small parts and may not be appropriate for those under the age of 3.

>> Participants who complete 4 of the 6 stations are eligible to enter our weekly drawing for fun science-themed prizes!

>> Included with general admission and free to CNC Members. Purchase admission tickets in advance to secure a date and time for your visit.
