Danville Science Center
Danville, VA
Tuesday, November 15

Come explore the Danville Science Center with NCHE!  Inspiring more than 50,000 guests each year, the Science Center offers the chance to explore STEM concepts and skills with interactive exhibits, hands-on activities, live demos, touring exhibitions, breathtaking Digital Dome Theater presentations, and special events.  Not normally open on Tuesdays, NCHE’s visitors will be the only guests in the building on November 15.

Our day includes the opportunity to visit all exhibit areas, engage with a staff educator in a live science program, and view a special feature in the Dome.

Our science program is Good Vibrations.  What is sound? How does sound travel? How is sound measured? Make waves while learning all the news about noise. They’ll blow your mind—but not your eardrums—with the power of sound!  Make some noise and explore the science behind sound!

In the Digital Dome, we’ll see a 45 minute presentation of Super Power Dogs.  Man’s best friend can also be superheroes!  In this inspiring true story, journey around the globe to meet remarkable dogs who save lives and discover the powerful bond they share with their human partners. Along the way, learn about dogs’ incredible senses and communication abilities.

Target age is through middle school.
