The Sunday Experiment features activities showcasing Goddard's world-renowned science and engineering research and technological developments. Families leave inspired by the hands on activities, wowed by the scientists and engineers, and excited about Goddard’s revolutionary research and technology.
"The Sunday Experiment is a place where children and adults alike can discover the excitement of Goddard through fun and easy hands-on activities," said Emilie Drobnes, founder of Sunday Experiment. "You get to act like scientists and engineers while building all types of little rockets and hover-crafts, designing your own planets and stars, and even trying your hand at being part of the manned spaced program. At The Sunday Experiment we energize the public about NASA and the science we do here and we aren't afraid to get our hands dirty in the process!"
In addition to celebrating all things science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, The Sunday Experiment celebrates major science missions that are managed by Goddard and set to launch in the coming months.
