“Rocks & Rockets” outreach event in Colby, KS. “Rocks & Rockets” is a FREE admission, come-and-go event packed with science games and activities, including numerous hands-on experiences. Additionally, we will be giving away FREE STEM books, posters, stickers, and more. The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 17th, 2024, from 1:00-5:00 pm at the Colby Event Center. I was wondering if you had a calendar to put this event on or listserv of families who might be interested in attending this FREE event.

This come-and-go event is perfect for all ages – stay for a few hours and dive into the excitement. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult."
