About this Event
In November 1833, the Leonid Meteor Shower lit up the night sky across North America. In Jamaica, Queens, one man was so startled, he believed his windmill was on fire!
King Manor starts STEAM Break by hosting a "meteor dissection." Learn about different types of meteors and what can be found inside them! While we won't be using real meteors, participants can see what it is like to work with specilaized tools to learn more about these objects from space.
Admission is free! Pre-registration for this event helps our staff prepare for your arrival, but registration can be completed at the door.
Particpants will also recieve a coupon for a free Kid's Combo Meal from our friends at Raisng Cane's!
This program is supported in part by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
