May Second Saturday Science
Just in time for high gas prices, we're debuting our Family Exploration Expedition (AKA road rally)!
Don't worry, we'll keep you close...
Launch your family adventure at Challenger Colorado, where you’ll grab your Exploration Expedition mission packet and hit the road!
Explore north Colorado Springs as you tackle hands-on science challenges, snap creative photos and videos, and work together at every stop. Complete as many challenges as you can—prizes await the most creative teams and top finishers. Get ready for a fast-paced day of discovery, teamwork, and family fun.
Plan to spend about 1.5 hours driving and completing challenges.
Digital journals must be submitted before 10:00 pm.
Two families will be chosen to receive Challenger swag and a free, private planetarium show for up to 25 of their closest friends and family!
Second Saturday Science at Challenger Colorado is about giving families time to do science together. We provide hands-on, content-rich activities designed to encourage thoughtful engagement, teamwork, critical thinking, and problem solving among family members. Activities are leveled for school-age students and their parents/guardians and are coupled with a planetarium show highlighting the Colorado night sky. (May event does not include planetarium show.)
Plan on spending at least an hour at the center working through activities and viewing the planetarium presentation.
This event is free for families, but registration is required.
September - May
Registration opens on Monday, March 20th at 7:00 am and closes at 4:00 pm on Friday, May 8th.
