The Moon 2 Mars Festival, presented by Wellby Financial, brings you closer to the cosmos and curiosity! March 11-14, round out your day of exploration in the STEM Zone. Enjoy hands-on activities designed to spark creativity and innovation!
The STEM Zone | Open 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Air Canister Rockets: Build it. Launch it. Watch science fly! Guests design a paper rocket and launch it using compressed air while learning how Newton’s Third Law of Motion powers real rockets off the launchpad.
Ultimate End Effector Challenge: Can you complete the mission? Students take control of a model robotic arm to move objects with precision—just like engineers do when handling equipment in space and on planetary surfaces.
Mission Patch Design Station: Every mission tells a story. Students explore the symbols, colors, and icons used in real space mission patches, then design their own to represent a unique mission goal.
Send Your Name Around the Moon: Be part of a lunar mission! Participants create a virtual commemorative ticket and send their name on a digital journey around the Moon—connecting them to current lunar exploration in a memorable way.
Moon Rock Exploration Dig: Dig like a lunar scientist! Using brushes and sieves, guests excavate “moon rocks” to uncover hidden artifacts while learning how scientists’ study lunar geology and samples collected from the Moon.
