Description

Defy gravity! Design and build a parachute device, then test it in a wind tunnel to see how long it can stay aloft. Explore aerodynamics, engineering, and design through hands on experimentation.  Ages 5 and up. Drop in anytime.  

This free family activity is designed for children and adults to explore, create, and problem solve together. Drop in and see what you can build when the wind is your engine!

What is Sparks?

Sparks is Quest Science Center’s free monthly hands on activity series for families. Held at Quest Plaza in downtown Livermore, Sparks offers fun, engaging opportunities to explore science, engineering, and creativity right in the heart of the community.

Each event features a single activity that can be completed at your own pace. Drop in anytime during the event and stay as long as you’d like. Activities are self paced, open ended, and designed for ages 5 through adult. Most families spend 15 to 30 minutes exploring.

Events may be canceled or modified due to weather.
