Outreach

It’s Science on Wheels! We roll up, roll in and set up — taking the mystery out of science and presenting fun, inquiry-based programs directly to the students in your classroom, library, festival or youth center! If you can’t bring your class or group to the Museum, let us bring the Museum to you!

Our programs provide exciting learning opportunities that engage all students. All programs address objectives outlined in the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectation and include pre- and post-visit activities. Register for an Outreach Program today!

Custom Outreach Programs

Call us and we will work together to deliver unique custom workshops that are full of fun and discovery. Past successes include:

• Newtonian Catch interactive, a fun combination of an amusement ride and a physics experiment. Add onto a Family Night for $200.
• Additional activities for a Super Science Day
• Extra hours for a Family Science Night

You never know what’s possible until you ask! For more information contact the Outreach Coordinator 734.995.5439 or click here to send an email.
