Cosmic Wanderers: Comets & Meteors in Motion!

Comets and meteors might look like tiny space rocks, but they’ve got some seriously cool stories to tell. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll uncover the secrets of these icy, rocky wanderers—where they come from, why they sometimes light up the sky, and what they can teach us about the early days of our solar system. You'll even get to touch real space rocks, watch a comet nucleus come to life, and make your very own comet craft to take home. Space is calling—are you ready to explore?
