It’s a particle party! September 24th & 25th

What element helps build cells, makes soda fizzy, has six atoms, and can make a big BOOM? If you guessed Carbon, you would be right! Here at GCM we are celebrating the BIG 6 with a bang! We’re calling all protons, electrons, and neutrons to help us celebrate our birthday this year. Mark your periodic table or calendar and join us September 24-25, for FREE admission and a science filled weekend at GCM sponsored by Publix Super Market Charities.
 
During this weekend, GCM guests are welcomed to join us as we vote on which cool elements should be added to our interactive mural exhibit, set to open this Fall with Urban Conga.
