The Children’s Science Center is hosting special events entitled "Imagine Their Future". Guests get an exciting look at our mission and value of bringing an interactive children’s science center to Northern Virginia. Join us for our next program!

The Children’s Science Center is proud introduce its Museum Without Walls Mobile Labs Family Science Nights. This new program offers opportunities for family bonding, parental engagement in science learning, and collaboration between the community and educators to engage students in hands-on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics-based learning.

Museum Without Walls "Mobile Labs" Family Science Nights are two-hour evening programs designed for parents to self-guide their students through a series of science lab experiments that can easily be replicated at home for further learning and enrichment. Schools are asked to provide volunteers at each station for assistance. The Children's Science Center provides all supplies and equipment for up to two exhibits and ten activities for hands-on science learning. There is a nominal cost to cover perishable supplies; assistance is available for Title I Schools.
