Whether you're deep in the forest or looking for a snack in your own backyard\, these simple techniques will help you connect with nature and forage safely. Tech DissectionWhat’s really hiding inside the devices we depend on every day? Crack open old computers and uncover the hidden systems that make technology work. Explore circuit boards\, processors\, memory\, and cooling systems as you discover the science behind your favorite tech. A Hair-Raising ExperienceYour hair standing on end. A spark in the air. A feeling you have to experience to believe. Face your fear of electricity and step up to our 300\,000-volt Van de Graaff generator. This high-voltage\, low-current machine creates a shocking (and totally safe) experience you won’t forget. Fist bump your friends… if you dare. Campfire S’moresThe fire is crackling. The night is getting darker. The only thing missing? S’mores. Stop by our Ruben’s Tube for the ultimate camp classic: perfectly toasted marshmallows\, gooey chocolate\, and a little science behind the flames.
