What you need to know

- Refunds only if the organizer cancels, so pick a time slot you can keep
About
Investigactiva fills a room with hands-on science stations: ramps, pendulums, light tables, microscopes, circuits, insects, minerals and skeletons. This term's theme adds supermagnets, energy and the natural world. Kids wander from table to table and pick what grabs them, with monitors on hand to push a question further. Big illustrated science books sit beside the stations. It suits kids who would rather touch than listen.
