The community is invited to blast off with the West Virginia Wesleyan College Space Club for science-themed fun and a chance to win prizes on Sunday, March 30 from 1 to 3:30 p.m.
Activities will be held in the auxiliary gymnasium located in Rockefeller Center. The first 50 kids will receive a NASA-themed drawstring backpack. The activities and science demonstrations will include a Tesla coil, bottle rockets, a paper airplane contest, a spaghetti tower contest and a popsicle stick catapult contest.
There are over $500 in prizes to be awarded in two age classes, over 10 years old and 10 and under. There will be a special chemistry presentation by Dr. Ed Wovchko who has promised a fun explosion experiment. There will also be tours of Wesleyan’s Science Labs for high school juniors and seniors. The door prize is a LEGO model of the Mars rover Perseverance. This event is sponsored by the NASA-WV Space Grant Consortium.
“The last NASA Space Day held at Wesleyan was in 2019 and the kids had a blast,” Space Club Advisor Dr. Tracey Delaney said. “We had over 200 people in attendance and we’re hoping to outdo that this time.”
