a year agoWhat an amazing place in the community to encourage curiosity in children! How does this work? Why does this happen? What will happen if I do this? Can I really do that? Where will this go? All great questions that can be explored at the Homewood Science Center! This was our first visit, and my 5yo twins had a blast learning about different careers where a STEM education can be applied, building roadways and pathways, weighing objects, adjusting weight on pulleys, coding a caterpillar, connecting tubes for a ball drop, seeing the components behind a wall, and upcycling materials to create a take-home-craft. We read a book, counted bones, and played with other curious children. There were cleaning supplies on hand in the maker’s space as well as hand sanitizer. The space will bright with colors and ample comfortable, child-appropriate seating. Would we come back? Heck yeah! Thank you, Mr. Charlie, and all the other wonderful staff at HSC for a fun Friday filled with learning.

a year agoOur family loves the Science Center, and we are grateful to have a place so central in town that is an engaging space for our daughters to learn through playing and experimenting. We’ve had the opportunity to work together as a family and also to see our older daughter independently explore with art projects made of an impressive collection of recycled materials, experiments, community guests, and other excellent events thanks to the Science Center. They’ve really thought of everything there, and it’s clear they took special care when designing the spaces to appeal to kids (and adults!) of all ages!
