THE AMAZING AVENGERS
Avengers, assemble! S.H.I.E.L.D. needs your help! But before you can assist
Agent Fury, you need to sharpen your superhero skills. So, join our
training team and learn how to harness the strength of the Hulk, use
technology to your benefit like Iron Man, or wield Thor’s mighty power of
thunder and lightning (or maybe just electricity)! Don’t worry; once you’re
done you’ll be more than equipped to take on any imminent threat to
Earth.
SPIDER-MAN – SCIENCE AND THE SUPERHERO
You already know that Spider-Man is the best superhero—but have you
ever wondered about the science behind his incredible feats? Come join
us and learn all about the amazing science of Spider-Man’s world!
Discover what makes Spidey’s web so strong, how Dr. Connors can
regrow his arm as the Lizard, or what gives Electro his charge, and the
real world examples of these! Hone your Spidey sense and gain a new
appreciation for the marvels of Spider-Man and his villains!

SO YOU WANT TO BE A SUPERHERO

powers are?
Grab your cape and best hero alias and join us for this
out-of –this world adventure and explore the science
behind your favorite Marvel and DC heroes and villains!

the physics behind the super strength of Superman and
discover your own spectacular super powers!
TWEEN/TEEN PROGRAMS
ASHFALL
SURVIVING AGAINST THE ODDS
“The scariest apocalypse is one that could really happen.”
Beneath the simmering hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone a
super volcano erupts blanketing the planet in a thick cloud of ash,
burying cities and plunging the world into a long volcanic winter.
With few resources left, we will have to work together to find the
strength and skills we need to survive and outlast this epic
disaster.
Being recruited into a highly specialized government spy ring
can be daunting but luckily, we are here to mentor you! Dive
straight into the secret world of spies, explore the tools and
gadgetry of the trade and see if you have the skills to survive
“the most dangerous job interview in the world”.
SCIENCE OF SUPERVILLAINS
Superheroes—bah! Who needs them? Everyone knows that
Supervillains are the real heroes of the story!
From Doctor Octopus to Mr. Freeze, supervillains often start out as
scientists who find their true evil side through a freak accident.
Maybe you could learn to manipulate magnetic fields like
Magneto, or test your robotic skills and build your own Sentinel.
Bring out your own inner evil scientist with our devious hands-on
activities, and together, we can overthrow those inferior
Superheroes!
ADULT PROGRAMS
Gods, Heroes and Monsters
Adventures in the World of
Mythology
Myriads of legends and mythologies have passed in
and out of prominence throughout the ages, but
simply because a god or monster has lost its
followers, does that mean it has ceased to exist? Join
us as we lure the heroes of old out of their shadows
and uncover mythological secrets from across the
millennia.
Solving the Labyrinth
Navigate a maze of mind-bending obstacles to thwart impending doom!
From the Sphinx's riddle in Greek myth to the modern day Rubik's cube, mankind
has always had a deep fascination with puzzles. Most often they simply provide
an instructive pastime, but sometimes they serve as ingenious blockades to dark
fortresses, deep secrets and journeys' ends. Join us on our own quest through a
labyrinth stronghold and pit your mental musculature against a villainous set of
mind benders!
