NE SciFest Scavenger Hunt
Download the scavenger hunt and go out and search for science. Ten quests await you – no matter where you live in Nebraska. You have all month long, April 1-30, to complete these tasks. Tag us on social media or email us and share your completed hunt!
Discovery Days at The Hall of History
Visit The Hall of History Museum at Boys Town, and explore their science stations. Make your own comic books, design your own superhero outfit, learn about pottery, make a molding of a butterfly or dinosaur – to take home, and take a peek into microscopes and guess how much your brain weighs. Plus, don’t forget to stop by their “Brain Games” wall.
