The Outreach (Science4U) program provides hands-on programming in an exciting mix of traveling labs, demonstrations, assemblies and festivals delivered directly to your location! You choose the program, time and place that fits your needs.
Labs are hands-on interactive workshops designed to motivate groups to ask questions, solve problems and explore science concepts. Led by Science Central's trained staff, they are a great introduction or follow-up to a particular topic of study.
Demonstrations are exciting, entertaining and educational audience participation sessions (30 minutes) designed to peak curiosity about a particular topic. Concepts are modified appropriately for age and audience.
Science Central offers hands-on science-based workshops for after-school programs. Each session is geared toward the participants' age level and needs. Workshops are led by two qualified and experienced staff for up to 32 participants for a one-hour session.

This self-guided festival can be a day or evening event. It is perfect for a science fair, carnival, parent night, or any other large group event. Each Family Fun Fest includes hands on, table-top activities covering 10-14 related topics. Participants explore these stations in a free-flow format, learning and having fun with peers and parents. A Science Central educator will bring all the materials to your location and train your volunteers to run the activities. You provide the tables, volunteers, participants, and any large space (a gym or cafeteria work best), then Science Central will provide the rest!
*Large Space is required for the successful running of this event.
** Educators: A station rotation schedule is not recommended for this program. See Explorations Stations for more structured table-top events.

Tabletop Science Activities are single activity workstations that permit exploration of individual applied science concepts. They are a great way to reinforce textbook concepts and nurture understanding through hands-on participation.
Exhibits4UThese portable, space-related exhibits allow your site to be converted into a base for science exploration. 10-12 interactive exhibits, designed and built by San Francisco's famed Exploratorium, are guaranteed to inspire minds from ages 2-102 as they discover astronomy, space travel, and so much more. Outreach to Space exhibits are ideal for fairs, festivals, libraries, gymnasiums, and many other community-based events.
