About this event

Mass STEM Week:
Rockets and Space Science Night


New England Sci-Tech holds free public STEM events in conjunction with Massachusetts STEM Week. This year is a celebration of Moon and Mars observation and exploration. We want to encourage people to learn more about STEM in space science, to share Moon or Mars-inspired stories and artwork, and to continue observing the sky and the world around us.

Children will build and launch an air-powered paper rocket, hold a rock from the Moon, and see a Space Science 3D Show using 3D glasses.
Children can bring a homemade space artwork to show and/or wear space-themed shirts or costumes.
There will be take-home goodie bags for all participating children.

Program is for children in grades 1-6 with accompanying parent to help with paper rocket building and launching. No additional siblings below grade 1 are allowed in the facility.

Today's Schedule

  • Thu, October 30, 2025, 6:00-7:30 PM - Paper Rocket Building/Launching, Touch a rock from the Moon, see a Space Science 3D Show.
