Home School Days  

2011-2012 

Expect to meet science head-on when you visit GWIZ.  Discover the magic of magnets, whisper a message across the room that only your friend can hear, run your fingers through laser beams to create wonderful sounds, or move matter with your mind … and that’s just our exhibit hall!  Join us for GWIZ’s Home School Days and participate in educational workshops at the school group rate!

Don’t miss other opportunities to get your student involved in science!  Exciting opportunities include: Science Day Camps, FAB LAB classes, and special Saturday events including BOO-seum Halloween Bash, Makers’ Faire, National Engineers’ Week activities and the Annual Toothpick Bridge Building Contest.
