Rocket Science Demonstration

Have you ever wondered how spacecraft and giant rockets are launched into space, or what water has to do with sending spacecraft to the Moon?

In this surprising scientific demonstration with audience participation, you’ll discover fascinating details about the model of the crewed spacecraft that reached the Moon, launch special balloons, and send surprising rockets into the air!

Flying Machine Building Workshop

What do spacecraft propulsion and the flying machines designed and built by Leonardo da Vinci 500 years ago have in common?

In this hands-on museum workshop, you’ll explore how potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and build your own flying machine inspired by Leonardo (which you’ll of course take home as a souvenir).
