STEMFor studentsFall Fling at Tellus Science Museum
A full day of fall family fun at the Southeast's favorite rock show. Watch student engineering teams compete in a pumpkin-launching contest with hand-built catapults and trebuchets, then see physics in action up close with tabletop catapult models and build your own mini cup flinger to take home. Kids can crack open a geode, have mystery rocks and fossils identified by museum experts, explore the science of fall colors with hands-on leaf creations, and visit the Observatory for a look at the Sun. Indoor and outdoor activities run 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.; the Observatory is open 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. Free for members; regular admission for non-members.
