Can’t Wait for Science Day?
The Rockville Science Center sponsors online science presentations the second and third Tuesday of every month. For something a bit more hands-on, the center hosts classes and engaging activities, such as a new family chess club. Open discussion periods are on Thursday evenings and STEM Activities Day is monthly on a Saturday.

Activities are held in the center’s storefront at 36C Maryland Ave. in Rockville Town Square and in the Makerspace at Rockville Memorial Library, 21 Maryland Ave.

The center also hosts spring break and summer camps at its storefront home and in schools and recreation centers. Learn more about these and other upcoming events at www.rockvillesciencecenter.org.
