April is North Carolina Science Festival Month, and Catawba Science Center will mark the occasion with two events focused on hands-on learning and exploration.
On April 11, the center will host “Science Matters: Matter Mania,” an interactive program exploring the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Activities include experiments with non-Newtonian fluids and planetarium shows. The event will also feature a presentation on dark matter by Appalachian State University’s Elise O. Weaver.
On April 18, the center will present STEM Trek, a free, family-friendly event connecting visitors with science, technology, engineering, and math through hands-on activities and exhibits led by local businesses and organizations. The event highlights STEM careers and innovations across the region.
The events are part of the statewide North Carolina Science Festival, which promotes science through community programming throughout April.
Catawba Science Center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and from 1-4 p.m. Sunday. The center is on the SALT Block at 243 Third Ave. NE in Hickory. For more information, call 828-322-8169 or visit catawbascience.org.
Catawba Science Center is a nonprofit science and technology museum serving North Carolina’s western Piedmont.
