Saturday Science - Heartbeat Detectives

Become a real-life heart scientist! In this hands-on workshop, youth will explore how their hearts work by measuring their pulse before and after fun movements like jumping, dancing, or laughing. Then, they get creative by making custom “pulse bracelets” with beads that represent their heartbeats — slow beats, fast beats, and everything in between.

Date: Saturday, February 21st 2026
Times: 10:30-11:30am and 12:30-1:30pm
Suitable for all ages!
