Strap on your goggles and slip into your lab coat for Kid*Vention, Virginia Discovery Museum's annual family celebration of everything science!
Kid*Vention is VDM's annual family science festival, bringing 30-40 community organizations with expertise in areas like biology, chemistry, earth science, engineering, physics, and zoology. These exhibitors come together to share exciting activities to spark kids' curiosity about the world around them. We will be welcoming back past favorites, including UVA Chemistry LEAD, the Ivy Creek Foundation, MedExpress, the Piedmont Group of the Sierra Club, and the Charlottesville Astronomical Society. New groups will be joining in on the fun for the first time this year too - keep an eye out for Aloha Mind Math, First Harmonics, and the Rodman Scholars. Last year's event welcomed over 1,000 visitors who had the chance to race robots, see their heartbeat, plant a tree, and make slime. Save the date for February 20, 2016 and check www.vadm.org/kidvention in the coming month for updates!
If you are interested in exhibiting or sponsoring Kid*Vention 2016, please email Kaitlin German at education@vadm.org.
