Program Description

Event Details

Step into a world where the impossible becomes possible! 
 In It’s Not Magic, It’s Science, kids uncover the real science behind amazing “magic” tricks. Watch air pressure lift objects, dominoes trigger chain reactions, and Styrofoam cups show balance and force in action. Every illusion has a simple scientific explanation—and kids get hands-on to explore it themselves! Packed with curiosity and creativity, this workshop proves science isn’t just educational—it’s astonishingly fun!

For youth ages 9-12.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED BELOW.

This program is a part of our annual Spring into STEAM initiative. This year's theme Ta-Da! challenges youth (aged 6-12) to explore the science behind magic!
