Join us for a hands-on experience animating the solar system using our Multiplane
Camera stations. Create your own planets, and then dabble with timing and spacing to
imitate how they orbit at different speeds around the sun.
In our art workshop, help us build a Martian colony, with fun, hands-on ways to think
like NASA engineers. This unique colony, inspired by the Experimental Prototype

must be tackled before our big trip to the Red Planet!
