A children’s festival sparking joy, imagination & new skills through hands-on workshops in art, movement, storytelling & self-expression!
Make your own simple telescope and see the night sky come alive.
In Build-a-Scope, young astronomers roll up their sleeves to construct their own working telescope from scratch. Guided by the Breakthrough Science Society team, kids learn the basics of optics, lenses, and magnification before heading outdoors to test their creations under the night sky. As they focus on craters, moons, and distant planets, they’ll discover not just how telescopes work — but how curiosity turns ordinary materials into tools for exploring the universe.
