Educator Night: Flash! Bang! Boom!
Join us for a special evening just for educators! Explore our newest exhibition, Flash! Bang! Boom! A History of Fireworks, as the museum stays open late for an in-depth look at the science, history, and spectacle behind fireworks.
During this exclusive event, educators will get
- an up-close introduction to the exhibition
- summary of our brand-new school group tour focused on fireworks
- classroom-ready resources and activities for grades 6–12
- light refreshments
- and more!
It’s a great opportunity to discover new ways to bring the history of science into your classroom and experience the exhibition before bringing your class for a group tour. We look forward to welcoming educators from across the region for an evening of learning, exploration, and inspiration.
This event is FREE; registration is required.
