Sci-Tech Is Temporarily Closed
Unfortunately, a major mechanical problem has forced Sci-Tech to temporarily close the museum.
Although we are working to mitigate the multitude of problems caused by the rupture of the main water pipe, our building will be out-of-service for an extended time.
However, during this forced closure, Sci-Tech will be using this opportunity to enhance exhibits, so when we are able to reopen, Sci-Tech will have new and improved exhibits for all.
Although our building is temporarily closed, our outreach programs are continuing. Our Traveling Science Program is available to present programs at schools, libraries, and other venues, and we are continuing our Outdoor Telescopic Astronomy Nights.
See our displays at Wiley Elementary (Watertown) STEAM Fair at 5:30 pm on Thursday, January 26; and at the Gardino Elementary (Clayton) Science Fair on Friday, April 28 at 6:00pm.
See our Traveling Science Presentation at Wacky Science Night at Wilson Elementary (Adams Center) on Friday, March 24 at 6:15 and 7:15pm.
