Kids! Bring your parents to the “Coe Playground of Science” night at Coe College! Hosted annually by the Coe Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Nursing, Psychology, Math, Computer Science, and ROTC Clubs, the “Coe Playground of Science” is an exciting night of learning and fun! Each year there are interactive demos that teach kids of all ages about the natural world around them. You’ll levitate things, launch pumpkins on our trebuchet, do the “mentos and diet pepsi demo,” make dragon's breath flames, play with numbers, be amazed by strong magnets, make snow, see models of eyes and hearts, learn about the human body, see how chemistry allows us to create useful substances, make ice cream with liquid air, see molten glass poured at almost 2000 °F, and much more. There will also be door prizes when you arrive! Come have fun and learn about our natural world, all ages are welcome.
