Saturday Science: Decisions, Decisions

Join us to explore how your brain helps you make choices every day. From solving problems to picking the best strategy, our brains are constantly processing information and guiding our actions.

Through hands-on activities and interactive demonstrations, discover how your brain weighs options, plans ahead, and makes decisions that shape how we interact with the world. Families and community groups are invited to learn how this powerful decision-making engine works.

This month’s theme, "Decisions, Decisions," highlights the incredible ways our brains gather and process information to help us make choices every day.

Don’t miss this exciting event where every choice matters!
