Event Details

Unravel the “magic” behind what you see, then step into a digital world of your own making! Kids will explore optical illusions by experimenting with magnifying glasses and mirrors to bend light, create dazzling effects, and learn how our eyes “see” with virtual reality. Then, they’ll dive into immersive worlds and wizarding wonders by donning an Oculus Quest VR headset to brew fantastical potions, mix chemistry compounds, and conjure unique creations in a magical VR Wizard Adventure!

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!
