First Friday: March Mad-Scientist-Ness

This First Friday, science fiction meets March Madness: step into a world filled with twisted experiments, humorous discoveries, and mind-bending fun!

Spend an unforgettable evening exploring the bizarre side of science. Our educators will unravel the connections between static electricity generators, Mary Shelley, peptide synthesizers, Kurt Vonnegut’s player pianos, and the mysterious world of Ada Lovelace and computers!

Witness strange sights and extraordinary discoveries, try Mad Science MadLibs, identify mysterious instruments that will spark your imagination, don white lab coats, grab quirky props, goggles, wigs, and more! You’ll capture the essence of the madness with our sci-fi-inspired photo booth. What strange concoctions will you create? 

Throughout the night, you’ll also get a chance to vote for your favorite fictional mad scientists in each round of the Mad Science Bracket. It’ll be an evening of laughter, awe, thrills, chills, and scientific mayhem!
