We’re less than two weeks away from our annual celebration during the Cambridge Science Festival and once again, we’ve designed a fun-filled week of activities and events for all ages. Many of our programs, events, and tours are free with Museum admission. Here’s a peek of what we have planned:
FOR STUDENTS
Teen Science Café
Saturday, April 13, 6-8:30 pm
Let’s talk biotechnology. Our increasingly popular cafés bring high school students together with scientists and each other in an evening of discussion and activities. Register now before it sells out.
Digital Innovation Tour
Tuesday, April 16, 2-2:30 pm
Meet David Nunez, our Director of Technology and Digital Strategy, and take a look at the MIT-based technologies and innovations currently on view in the galleries.
Quantum Dot Workshop
Wednesday, April 17, 10 am-12 pm
Not sure what a quantum dot is, or how they're critical to creating many types of nanotechnology? Find out in this hands-on workshop. Register.
FOR FAMILIES
Science Game Night
Sunday, April 14, 6-8:30 pm
Game on! Bring your family, bring your friends and compete in an evening of science-themed games. Register.
Hot STEAM II: A Science/Video/Art Film Screening
Thursday, April 18, 6-8:00 pm
Join us and our friends at Cambridge Community Television for a screening of beautiful and bizarre science, art, and technology-based videos. Popcorn’s on us.
Lunar Exploration Expo
Saturday, April 20, 1-3:00 pm
Take one small step toward the big celebration of the 50th anniversary of Apollo’s landing on the moon. Lunar rock and soil samples, objects from our collection that aided NASA’s Apollo missions, and MIT students sharing their work will make this an out-of-this-world experience.
FOR ADULTS
Physics and Photography Workshop for Adults
Tuesday, April 16, 7-9:00 pm
Learn how to take a picture quicker than you can say “click” and hear how MIT researchers are able to photograph events as fast as light itself. Register.
Neuroscience Paint Night (SOLD OUT)
Wednesday, April 17, 6:30-8:30 pm
In this night of neurons, paint them, and learn about the revolutionary video-based project to map their 3D structure that has 250,000 people in 150 countries signed up. Register.
Sail Through Engineering Teacher Workshop
Thursday, April 18, 9:00 am-4:00 pm
Ahoy middle and high school teachers! Join us for a hands-on workshop, and bring what you learn back to your classroom. Register.
