About this event

WEEK 8: Mon-Fri, Aug 4-8, PM 12:00-3:00

INTERSTELLAR WEEK: What is holding the universe together? Exploring the “glue” and the particles that make life, the universe and everything. While watching clips of the movie Interstellar, we will explore Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, time dilation, and the twins paradox. We will build a "gravity well" and experiment with the warping of space. We will watch a planetarium show about black holes. Join our public telescope nights Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 8:00-9:00 PM, culminating with the full Sturgeon Moon on Saturday.

SCI-TECH SUMMER MAKERS 2025

New England Sci-Tech Summer Makers are young inventors, coders, builders, and super scientists who love any kind of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEM or STEAM).

For children entering grades 4 through 9 in the fall.

THEME WEEKS are for enrichment; they supplement, not replace, the regular weekly activities.

Check us out before signing up! See our facilities, and meet our staff. Come to one of our regular Open Houses. Or call to schedule an appointment.

We want you and your child to be comfortable with our facility and program, and we prefer that you not sign up until after you have toured the facility and met us.

Visit the Summer Makers Website for complete information.
