What is the Maker Movement? It is a technology-based do-it-yourself movement. Learn how everyday citizens are helping democratize science by open-sourcing scientific gear to get it in to the hands of more people. This talk will cover the present and future of citizen science and how the public can get involved. See cool gadgets in action, get up close and personal with 3D printers, and more!  Visit their website: Click Here  

   

Friday Night Family Hour
 
On Friday nights from 7-8 p.m., families are invited to Kopernik for kid-friendly activities. Sample fun, hands-on STEM activities, receive a star map and learn how to use it. Each month will have a different theme!
 
Sept: Light & Lasers  Oct: 3D Universe  Nov: Geometry of Infinity
 
At 8 p.m. stay for the program, or if clear skies prevail, observe through Kopernik's telescopes!
 
September is Lights and Lasers!
 
 
 
This program will take place in our darkened physics lab, where rainbows sparkle and stars glow in the dark. Guests will experience a variety of colored light demonstrations. They will see different energized gasses glow, each having its own unique colorful display. Guests also will learn about different lasers, see how they interact with various substances.
