Pacific Science Center offers many more exciting opportunities for curious minds of all ages throughout the year! For more information or to register for any of these programs, visit pacificsciencecenter.org or call (206) 443-2925. Birthday Parties Celebrate your birthday with a variety of themed parties for all ages! The celebration includes a private room complete with decorations that match your selected party theme. Experienced staff will dazzle guests with amazing science activities, explorations and demonstrations! After your party at Pacific Science Center, you and your guests are free to enjoy the rest of the day exploring our exhibits. Environmental Science & Technology Practicum and Environmental Science Pathways The Environmental Science and Technology Practicum and Environmental Science Pathways programs offer exciting multi-week sessions for middle and high school students to explore skills and careers associated with environmental and clean technologies. Each session includes hands-on research investigations in field and laboratory settings, as well as direct exposure to high level professionals in clean technology and environmental science who share their cutting-edge work and discuss educational pathways in their respective fields. 30 CAMPS FOR CURIOUS MINDS « 2016 LOVE OUR SUMMER CAMPS? Parents’ Night Out Night Walks Pacific Science Center offers a series of Parents’ Night Out events throughout the year. Spend a night out (or in!) while your child enjoys after-hours exploration of our exhibits, hands-on activities and a live science, planetarium or laser light show. Participants will be supervised in age groups by our experienced and enthusiastic staff all evening. Once a month, bring your family to examine skulls and conduct experiments to discover the tricks nocturnal creatures use to survive at night. Then head out into the dark to listen for nocturnal creatures and participate in hands-on sensory activities aimed at exploring the wetland at twilight. Offered September through May for groups or families with children ages 5 and up. Preschools Pacific Science Center and Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center offer school year-long play-based preschool programs for children ages 3–5. Proton Preschool in downtown Seattle uses science as a catalyst for learning and discovery. At Proton Preschool students explore the physical world while utilizing the amazing resources Pacific Science Center has to offer. Polliwog Preschool in Bellevue utilizes 320 acres of wetlands to explore seasonal themes and daily activities that meet the developmental needs of early learners, while fostering a love of nature and learning. Scouts in the Wild Scouts in the Wild are after school and weekend programs targeted at groups of children in grades K–5. These groups could include scouts, camp fire groups, homeschool cooperatives or an informal group of friends. The programs are loosely based on a variety of badge requirements for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, but are fun and educational for any group interested in a guided hike through the Mercer Slough Nature Park. NEW! Tech Workshop Coming This Spring New to Pacific Science Center for grades 6 – 8, we will offer a multi-week workshop series on Saturday mornings beginning in April. Spend time diving deep into a subject and put your new skills to the test with innovative challenges and experiments. 2016 » PACIFICSCIENCECENTER.ORG | (206) 443-2925 31 NON-PROFIT ORG.
