About this Event

Join us to explore the shocking side of science! How does electricity power our world? What makes lightning strike, and how do our bodies conduct energy? From static sparks to electric circuits, discover the science behind the forces that keep our lives charged.

Uncover the answers to these questions and more through hands-on activities and electrifying demonstrations. Families and community groups are invited to experiment, play, and learn about the powerful role of electricity in science, technology, and everyday life.

This month’s theme, “Shocking Science,” celebrates the wonders of electricity and energy, sparking curiosity about how these invisible forces shape the world around us.

⚡ Don’t miss this exciting, high-voltage event!
