Members Only Hour, launched in June, will continue this month. The museum will open at 10 am on Saturdays for members, one hour earlier than nonmember guests, as our way of thanking our member supporters.

In the Yellow Lab this month, children are invited to weave their own rainbow fish.

Ever wonder about robots? The Blue Science Lab will have a craft for guests to create their own climbing robot.
