Learn about meteorites with Dr. Andrew Clift and then build our own creative solar systems in a fun, hands-on space science adventure!
About this Event

Join us for a fun-filled STEAM Sundays adventure as we blast off into space science! 🚀✨

We’ll start by meeting Dr. Andrew Clift, Curator of Bedrock Core at the New York State Museum, who will help us uncover the mysteries of meteorites, micrometeorites, and how space rocks teach us about our solar system.

Then it’s your turn to become a space explorer! With educator Venu Toolaram, families will jump into a hands-on creative activity to design and build their own solar system models using colorful materials, imagination, and a little bit of cosmic inspiration.
