Discover Science in the Digital Space
Fleet Science Center
FLEETtv brings all of the experiments and exhibits of the Fleet Science Center right to your own home. These weekly episodes will walk your mini-scientists through interesting interviews, read-alouds, science fails (hey, it happens), and DIY projects to keep their brains occupied long after the school day is over. The museum also plans to continue their virtual camps and clubs, which are offered at all age levels. Adult viewers can catch cocktail chemistry classes and virtual editions of some of the science center’s most popular events, like The Sky Tonight, an astronomer-led planetarium show that tours the solar system.
