Lead instructor, Hayley Winick, collaborates with guest instructors to teach this month-long series full of hands-on, engaging crafts using STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math). The hands-on activities will allow your child to express themselves in a creative way, practice and build fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination and much more. This series is a wonderful introduction to a creative and nurturing learning environment. Projects encourage problem solving in creative and innovative ways, and include wood, textiles, clay, paper, and glass. Young students will make beautiful pieces to take home over the course of the series. All materials included. Students explore a variety of mediums to teach hand skills to children using safe, natural materials. Each project teaches craftsmanship, dexterity and material exploration. Projects range from woodworking, sewing, ceramics, paper crafts, textiles to fusing glass. Young students will make beautiful pieces to take home over the course of the series. All materials included. Projects are switched up monthly, so repeats are welcome! October focus: Textiles November focus: Reduce-Reuse December focus: Giving Back

The Fleet is back at Comic-Con! Because you can’t have science fiction without science, the Fleet Science Center is happy to be back at Comic-Con International: San Diego. This year, the Fleet will host not one, not two, but three panels! Have you ever wondered how many universes actually exist? How astronomy and social science impact our favorite space sagas? Or how are board games created? You can't miss our panels! The Science of Spider-Man and the Multiverse July 23, 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. What is better than one Spiderman? Multiple Spiderman, of course! Join the Fleet Science Center as we explore the stories of Spiderman and the Multiverse and look at the science behind a lab accident creating a superhero and how many universes scientists think actually exist. The Science Behind the Expanse July 22, 5–6 p.m. The Expanse series has everything a good space saga needs: murder, society at the brink of war/civil unrest, a conspiracy and dangerous alien technology that could wipe out everyone. Join the Fleet Science Center as we explore both the space science and social science stories in this panel. The Science Behind Creating Board Games July 21, 7:30–8:30 p.m. Board Games have been around for centuries, and new ones are being developed every year. Join the Fleet Science Center, Board Game creators Ta-Te Wu and Matt "Fantastic" Loter, and local scientists as we explore the creative process behind board game development and will also look at the science behind it. From psychology to probability and statistics, many things must be considered when developing a board game that can engage people over multiple rounds. Stay tuned for the room number and panelist information. See you at Comic-Con! Fleet Science Center on Facebook + Instagram
