Pi(e) Day March 14, 10:00am-2:00pm |
Every year, on March 14th (3.14) the Science Center joins people all over the globe in celebrating the circle. The mathematical formula used to measure all things circular is known as Pi and can be carried out to an infinite number of digits. Come learn more about this interesting formula with activities throughout the building including a Pi chain and hula hoops (they’re circles). Then, let’s all celebrate the day with a piece of pie! Thanks to our friends at Dangerously Delicious Pies and Moon Pie we’ll have free pie for everyone while supplies last. |

IMAX Update |
The work is almost done and we’re getting ready to unveil the new St. John Properties IMAX Theater. All new digital projection systems, new surround sound, a new screen—Maryland’s largest—all combine to create a complete immersive movie experience not available anywhere else. The new technology allows us to bring the latest documentary and feature films to the screen. First up is Captain Marvel and tickets are on sale now. You won’t believe the difference compared to regular movie theaters—it’s bigger, brighter, bolder, and more than just a movie. |
