Las Vegas is welcoming back a free, family-friendly event on Thursday, where science meets Star Wars. ‘May the Science Be With You’ is a collaboration between the Atomic Museum and the Desert Research Institute (DRI). Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy science demonstrations, engaging activities like Padawan training, and more. Food trucks and community partner booths will also be present at the event.
Families attending the event will have the chance to participate in hands-on science demonstrations. The focus is on making the event interactive for all, with STEM and STEAM activities for families to enjoy. Kids will have the opportunity to explore engineering tools like snap circuits and a remote controlled model rover. The event aims to combine the excitement of Star Wars with educational experiences.
Matt Malinowski, the Atomic Museum Director of Education, expressed the event’s appeal by saying, “Everybody loves Star Wars, right? So this is a great way to get down here and meet some Star Wars characters, have a bit of fun, and maybe learn something new.” ‘May the Science Be With You’ is part of the Las Vegas Science & Technology Festival and will take place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 755 E. Flamingo Road. In addition to the event, the Atomic Museum is offering half-priced admission to its museum exhibits.
