Make time with the Sun!
July 22 – July 27
Discover how people have told time using the sun in this interactive STEM activity.
Guests will create two types of sundials—one using a laser cutter (Epilog) with wood or acrylic, and another using paper templates and craft supplies.
Learn about solar time, adjust your sundial for local latitude, and take your creations outside to test them in real sunlight.
Perfect for families, kids, and curious makers—a fun way to explore science, creativity, and fabrication all in one!
Harness your creativity and problem-solving skills in our maker space the J.T. – Minnie Maude Charitable Trust Creativity Lab! Creativity Labs are included with Science Center admission and are 45-minute, educator led, experiences designed to tap into your creative power.
All participants must be 8 years or older. Participants under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Creativity Lab activities will close 10 minutes after their scheduled start time.
