Nissan Community Day

Friday, April 25 | 9:00 am to 1:00 pm

Join us and volunteers from Nissan North America for a day of programming celebrating Green Month at the science center!

Hands-on Activities Throughout the Day:

Sling Shot Cars: You've heard of gasoline and electric cars, but have you ever heard of slingshot-powered cars?! Visitors can construct a car from various materials and attach a rubber band to the back of the vehicle.

Then, take it to the track, pull back, and watch it race with the power of kinetic energy!

UV-Powered Cars: Use the power of the biggest energy source in our solar system: the Sun! We're bringing the sun inside to power cars across a table. Visitors will use UV flashlights to race their solar cars across the finish line.

Air-Powered Vehicles: Harness the power of the wind to help make vehicles move. Visitors will make their own car, truck, or boat fixed with a sail to catch the wind. Place your vehicle in front of the fan to watch it glide to the finish line.

i2 Makerspace Activities: Engage with a hands-on guided activity in our beloved makerspace.
