Check out the Nature Museum after hours! C2ST will be at the Nature Museum’s Summer Nature Fest on June 13th!
Come check us out and the other great science and nature booths and activities.
The Summer Nature Fest includes live animals, outdoor nature play, drop-by scientist tables, live music and so much more! Be sure to see the outdoor art installation, Flight of the Butterflies, before these large sculptures take flight and land across the city. Soak it all in with good food, good drinks, and a view of North Pond under the city skyline.

Join us at the Museum of Science and Industry’s Kick-off to Summer Picnic. We will be sharing some awesome space science and experimenting with stomp rockets to celebrate the launch of summer!
Bring your picnic blanket and sunscreen, play some lawn games, and enjoy hands-on activities with STEM community partners from across the city at this event on the Museum’s north lawn. Food and beverages will be available for purchase, while supplies last. This outdoor event is free and open to the public. Museum Entry requires a ticket purchase.
Communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking are important skills to develop for 21st-century careers. At Hernandez Middle School (HMS), all students work on developing these skills throughout their classes. At the STEM event, participants will engage in activities related to one of the 5C’s that shows connections between STEM, the Arts, and their daily lives. This nights theme is Spring into STEM and includes engineering challenges, maker space adventures and a catapult challenge.
*This event is closed to the general public and is only open to HMS families. If you would like to volunteer at events like this in the future or learn more about how to support future STEM nights, click the button above.
A total solar eclipse is coming to the United States on April 8th. Here in Chicago we will have a chance to see 95% partial solar eclipse.
Join C2ST and the DuSable Museum as we experience the solar eclipse! This event is an opportunity to participate in hands-on educational activities centered around the eclipse, witness the awe-inspiring spectacle first hand and speak with experts in the field of astronomy.
Eclipse viewing glasses will be available too!
The goal of the Pi Day Family STEAM Night event is to ignite curiosity in STEM and the Arts through the mathematical patterns found all around us.
