Get ready to experiment, create, and explore the science of color! Kids ages 10–13 are invited to join the Lancaster Science Factory for a hands-on adventure in color theory and creativity.

In this interactive program, participants will rotate through three engaging stations:
🎨 Color Mixing Trays – Discover how primary colors blend to make secondary colors in surprising ways.
🌈 Shadow Boxes – Play with light and color to create vibrant shadows and explore how light affects what we see.
🖌 Salt Painting – Combine science and art as you use salt, watercolor, and glue to create dazzling textured masterpieces.

It’s the perfect mix of science, art, and fun—designed just for curious tweens!

For ages 10–13. All materials provided.
