Family Science Night is returning to Flint Hill!

The Children’s Science Center Lab is bringing their Family Science Night Program to Flint Hill on Tuesday, October 18th, from 6:00-7:30pm. Family Science Night offers a variety of engaging, hands-on science activities such as Stacking Currency: Financial Literacy, Magnets at Work: Everyday Uses, It’s All Relative: Exploring Gravity in Space, among several others. These experiments are specially designed to help encourage students to take interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects, as well as to encourage students to develop curiosity in everyday life situations.

Young children are natural scientists, rationally making observations, testing hypotheses, analyzing data and reaching conclusions. Join us on October 18, 2022 to help keep our students engaged and excited about STEM subjects. Volunteers (ages 16 and older) are needed from 5:15 – 7:45 p.m. to set up, assist students with activities, and clean up. Contact Gayle Schlueter to volunteer. (Please log in to see her email!) We hope to see you there!

What is the Children’s Science Center Lab?

The Northern Virginia Science Center Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that operates the Children's Science Center Lab at Fair Oaks Mall and STEM programs traveling to schools and other community venues across the region, including Family Science Night.

The Children’s Science Center Lab is Northern Virginia’s first interactive museum where children, families and school groups can explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts through fun, engaging hands-on exhibits, activities and programs. The Children’s Science Center’s mission is to inspire a love of learning STEM in all children by providing unique opportunities to explore and create. The Northern Virginia Science Center Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.

The Foundation is also helping develop the Northern Virginia Science Center in partnership with the Science Museum of Virginia through a pivotal public private partnership that also includes Loudoun County and critical support from the private sector. The Science Center will be located in Dulles, VA and will be a world-class, interactive museum for families, students, and learners of all ages that will spark and sustain the natural curiosity in all of us.
