Saturn-5 Saturday: Create an Alien
Are there aliens living on Earth? We might never know if we have been visited by aliens, but we can make a good guess as to what they might look like based on the environment in which they live. In the next session of Saturn-5 Saturday, join us as we create an alien world and a real model alien inhabitant; both of which you can take home with you.
What is Saturn-5 Saturday? Enjoy space-themed family activities every 3rd Saturday of the month. Free with admission or membership. 12:30pm - 3:30pm. Receive a different secret code word at each session. Enter at least 4 for an invitation to the Mission Accomplished wrap-up event. Family fun! Details on Saturn-5 Saturday

Dr. Elizabeth Croft is finding ways to help humans and robots work together. Click here for bio and details. 7:00pm in the Auditorium.

Saturn-5 Saturday: Lunatic Landers
Eggs, just how precious are these delicate edibles? We can imagine how dangerous it would be for astronauts to come in for a landing. In this Saturn-5 Saturday family-fun activity, we make crash-proof space ships for little eggs and test their mettle with a high altitude drop! Free with admission or membership. 12:30pm - 3:30pm.
