Families will learn about the logic and imagination that goes into game design, scientific investigation and discovery as they build, tinker and play.

Special guests include Jarod Miller, a zoologist and naturalist who has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O’Brien, along with his amazing animals; former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino; and a lineup of popular children’s book authors and scientists.

In addition, Intrepid Museum educators will lead live demonstrations, planetarium presentations, sketch theater performances, and Tour Guides will lead themed Tour Guide Talks throughout each day.
