The Tech Challenge: Raise the Roof
Last chance to register for The Tech Challenge 2026!
Think you’ve got what it takes to design the future of construction? This year’s challenge invites students Grades 4-12 to design, build, test, and demonstrate an innovative lifting device that can transfer housing modules from one place to another on a construction site.
Register today until Sunday, April 5 and take on the challenge that inspires creativity, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving!
Project Hail Mary
Now playing in our IMAX Dome Theater through April 12. Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory slowly returns, he soon discovers he must solve the riddle behind a mysterious substance that's causing the sun to die out. As details of the mission unravel, he calls on his scientific training and sheer ingenuity — but he may not have to do it alone.
Summer Camps Registration Now Open!
Join us for the launch of our first summer camp experience, where students entering Grades 3-6 will Create, Adapt, Make, and Play! In each week-long session, campers will collaborate to explore big ideas and make hands-on projects inspired by that week’s theme.
