Solar Astronomy
You know that you shouldn’t look at the sun, but here at the Science Center we have special telescopes that can!
During this workshop you’ll be able to view the sun through our Hydrogen Alpha telescope and a solar filter equipped
10 inch telescope to see the sun like you never have before. You’ll also learn a little about the night sky and be
able to build your own telescopes, not for use on the sun of course. Even if the weather is poor we will have other
great activities. A $10 material fee for the telescopes is required.

CO2 Racers

that’s powered by carbon dioxide. You will also race it on our +60 foot long track and yes, you get to take the dragster home! A $12 material fee for the dragster is required.

Saturday Health and Science Career Sessions
In the pursuit of our mission, which is to inspire lifelong learning through interactive and innovative experiences that explore our
changing world through science, the Connecticut Science Center has developed the Health and Science Learning Initiative (HSLI). The HSLI is
focused on engaging students in concepts related to science, health and sports, exposing them to career options.
To this end, we have created the series of Saturday Health and Science Careers Sessions. These Career Sessions will engage students to
participate through informative hands - on activities, on topics related to careers.
Students are invited to come with their families to meet us on the gallery floor of the museum. We will be there with an invited
professional and a Connecticut Science Center staff scientist, who will work with the students in fun and interesting activities about
their science, health and sports careers, jobs and what these cool professionals do.
Come join us for fun hands-on exploration of Science and Health Careers with real Professionals! Bring your Family and Friends! This event is FREE with Regular Admission
Support for this program has been provided by the Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority (CHEFA)
