Fernbank Science Center announces a repeat of the very popular program for young students, Science Night Out, an evening packed with hands-on science activities for kids. Typical comments last year were, "Mom, I don't want to leave!" and "When is the next one?"
The programs are staffed by Fernbank Science Center scientists and volunteers. There is a small charge to cover materials and to support Fernbank Science Center’s Aerospace programming. The target audience is fun-loving, science-aware children from 3rd grade through 6th grade. Each program occurs on a Friday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Parents drop their children off at the registration tables at Fernbank Science Center’s main entrance, 156 Heaton Park Drive, N.E., Atlanta, GA 30307 (click here for directions) Students are picked up promptly at 9:00 p.m. The charge for the program is $15 per child, plus $10 for each additional sibling.
Registration is by mail only and accepted 30 days prior to the program date. Registration will not be accepted prior to 30 days before the program date. Confirmation of registration is sent by email. Space is limited and fills rapidly, so please register early within the 30 day window. If the session you register for is full, then your check will be returned to you by mail.
