SciTech's educational programs allow students to visualize, experiment with, and understand science through hands-on discovery. Offered at the museum or off-site, programs get students of all ages and ability levels excited about science. The Museum offers a number of exhibits on astronomy and weather, and the Outdoor Science Park has many interactive exhibits including a giant wave machine crowned with spinning weathervanes to tell the direction and speed of the wind. Educational programming includes Science by the Book which invites preschoolers to discover science through stories and hands-on activities, information on various Science Demonstrations available to groups, Scouts programs, school programming, summer camps, and off-site outreach. The website also has a page devoted to Museum Professionals, describing traveling exhibits for rent, as well as papers and articles on museum work by the SciTech staff and associates.
