 Discovery Days are a whole new EXPERIENCE
EXPERIENCE SCIENCE in a new program that let's community and scout groups explore the different wonders of science in a fun and engaging way. Through hands-on exploration, and specialized exhibit and program experiences, participants will gain a greater understanding of how science relates to everyday life. Each experience begins with an orientation to the New York Hall of Science, and how to approach exploring the museum's diverse exhibits to gain a greater understanding of a particular theme. At the orientation, each participant will receive a guide, and scavenger hunt. Led by a science explainer, participants will then explore various exhibits that pertain to the theme, see a specialized show or demonstration, build a science related craft, or participate in a science activity. Each experience lasts 2 hours, and includes a lunch reservation in the dining area (you may bring your own food, or pre-order from the science cafe). Groups of 24 may book. Limit of 30 people (after 30, group may be split into 2). Information Packets related to the theme will be sent via email/mail, and take-home activity sheets will be provided to continue the learning at home. Each group may have a free exploration after they conclude their EXPERIENCE.
