Learn the secret science of toys

Some of the simplest toys, such as tops and yo-yos, have amazing science behind them. Join us on Saturday, January 21, for  The Secret Science of Toys Festival.  We'll explore ten different toys and divulge their secrets. Play and learn what makes toys spin, wobble and flip! The Secret Science of Toys Festival is included with admission to the Fleet.
Make New Creations With 3D Printing

Watch as your very own toys, mementos and structures are created right before your eyes. In the Fleet's 3D Printing Workshop you'll learn how to use Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) techniques to design your own creation--then let the 3D printer do the rest. This three-part workshop is suitable for ages 7 to 107. The first class is Sunday, January 15.
