Exploreum Science Center

Atrium Explorers is back for the first Saturday of the month, tomorrow, October 3! 🎨

Stop by the Atrium anytime from 10:00–11:30 a.m. to build your very own Newton’s Color Wheel and discover what happens when a rainbow spins at top speed.

When the wheel spins quickly, the colors hit your eyes faster than your brain can process them individually, causing them to appear as one blended color!

Plus, we’ve got plenty more science happening throughout the day with our Saturday Science demos! Check out the schedule to see what our educators have planned and when. 🧪

Atrium Explorers and Saturday Science demos are included with general admission or Exploreum membership.

There are a LOT of things in this world people are afraid of… even paper. 👀📄

Check out this week’s “Explore… um?? Did You Know?” to learn more about papyrophobia, and if you want to dive deeper into the science of phobias, come check out FEAR: An Immersive Exhibit, open now! 🧠👻

Tell us in the comments: what’s your worst fear? 😱

A new learning adventure is rolling into the Exploreum! 🚚✨

On Friday, October 9, the Grow Up Great Mobile Learning Adventure will be stopping by the Exploreum! The Mobile Learning Adventure is part of PNC Grow Up Great, an initiative created to help children from birth to age 5 build a strong foundation for success in school and beyond.

The Mobile Learning Adventure offers children and caregivers the opportunity to dive into fun, educational experiences. Families can make their way through a variety of activities focused on early learning and school readiness, collecting sticker badges in their own Passport Book along the way. 📚⭐

Bring your littlest explorers and get ready to learn, play, and explore! 💙

There’s a reason we keep turning the page, even when we may be scared of what comes next. 😱📖

Some things are just too important not to keep track of. ✍️

We use writing to keep track of just about everything these days, but that habit goes back a LOT further than you might think.

Take a look at this week’s “Explore… um?? Did You Know?” and tell us: If you could only keep track of one thing, what would it be?
