Come to the Goddard Visitor Center once a month to discover the wide variety of science and engineering being performed here at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. As a family you will work with NASA volunteers to explore various themes through two hours of hands-on activities and even get to take home a bag full of goodies to then perform your own experiments at home!

Family Science Night is designed for middle school students and their families. Family members of all ages (younger and older) are welcome to come participate. Special activities will be run for the much younger visitors so don't be afraid to bring the whole family!

On your first visit to a Family Science Night, you will receive a super cool punch card. Every time you participate in a Family Science Night program, you get a hole punch. At the end of the Family Science Night season (May), turn your card in for some cool prizes. The more hole punches you have the bigger the prize!
