 |  | Mad Science of The Upstate is proud to offer this eight week after school program. Each of the eight sessions summarized below includes a fun and educational take home item.
Explore the farthest reaches of our solar system and create a lunar eclipse in this mad planetary tour! Learn how the planets stack up. Build and take home Kepler’s Cube, a fun and educational 3—D Solar System puzzle!
We’re on a mission to explore the atmosphere on Earth—and beyond. Travel to the end of the rainbow and make a sunset! Mix up various planetary atmospheres, one molecule at a time. Discover how stars would look in space, and see what makes stars twinkle using your very own Shimmering Stars kit!
Probe the mysteries of meteors and bounce around satellite light in this phenomenal program on space events! See comets up close as one is formed before your eyes, and take home your very own Catch-a-Comet!
This stellar program is your ticket to the stars! Watch star dust burn, and journey through a soapy galaxy as you investigate the life cycle of stars. Use your Bead Dipper kit to create a 3—dimensional glow-in-the-dark constellation!
This is your chance to be a rocket scientist and investigate the four forces of flight! Explore the science involved in rocket construction as you build your own Skyblazer II Rocket that you can take home!
Learn what it takes to be a true globetrotter! Race a balloon rocket and design your own car engine as you learn about thrust. See the principles of propulsion at work in a real rocket launch, and build your very own Shuttle Copter to fly to the skies!
Discover technology designed for outer space! Steer a laser beam through a laser maze, find hidden mountains using the principles of radar technology, and discover everyday objects originally designed for use in space! Take home a Lightning Launcher kit that will light up the sky!
Experience the life of an astronaut as you suit up for space flight! Use teamwork to complete an important space mission, build a model space station and make your very own Cosmic Chronometer TM watch to measure the time here on Earth!
