[edit] Outreach Programs

Science Festivals – Science Festivals are two hour sessions composed of one Show, two Guided Activities and ten or more Table Top Exhibits.
Shows/Assemblies – These 30 – 45 minute shows cover topics like forces, air pressure, extreme temperatures or circus science. Each show requires audience participation to convey the scientific concepts.
Guided Activities - Each Activity starts by covering the basic concept and application of a science or engineering topic then letting the participants explore the topic in more depth through experimentation. Topics include Geodesic Domes, Chromatography, Rockets and others.
Starlab – DCI has a portable planetarium which can be set up in school gyms for star talks and constellation viewing throughout the year.
Table Top Exhibits - These are smaller versions of DCI exhibits which are set up in schools, libraries and other community centers.
