ZOOM

By kids, for kids, ZOOM is a daily PBS television series that challenges kids to "turn off the TV and do it!" Inspired by this motto, the ZOOM Family Science Night encourages kids to have a hands-on attitude toward science and math, providing them with innovative activities to try at school and then at home. Come join us as we design marble-powered clocks, create zoomin' parachutes, experiment with the great Balloon Blast-Off, and more!

Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations.
