Make some noise as we explore the science of sound and music! Students will design and build their own musical instruments, experimenting with vibrations, pitch, and volume to create unique sounds.

Through hands-on challenges, they'll discover how instrument design affects the music we hear before exploring the surprising connections between sound and space in an interactive planetarium show featuring stellar vibrations and cosmic sonification. Join us for a special day of learning designed for homeschool families!

Each program begins with an interactive presentation or film in the Caperton Planetarium and Theater, followed by a hands-on STEM Lab experience in our classrooms. Families register and attend together, with both students and adults participating in the planetarium and lab activities.

Children who receive Hope Scholarship funds may allocate those funds for this program through the Hope Scholarship Portal. Please note: scholarship funds can only be applied to the cost of the child’s participation and cannot be used to cover adult admission.

Once funds are allocated in the portal, the Clay Center will contact you to finalize your registration. If you have not heard from us after 2 business days, do not hesitate to contact our Box Office for further assistance.

Limited space available. Early registration is recommended.
