Silly Science Sunday
September 15 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm EDT
LOCATION CHANGE: Silly Science Sunday will be held in Wean Park and the Huntington Community Alley in downtown Youngstown.
OH WOW! Children’s Center’s annual Silly Science Sunday event, sponsored by David and Caroline Jones, will look different this year as it moves to Wean Park and the Huntington Community Alley downtown Youngstown on Sunday, September 15 from 11:00am-4:00pm.
The free event featuring STEAM activities from a variety of exhibitors is in its 14th year downtown Youngstown. Hosted by OH WOW! it continues to provide families and learners of all ages the chance to discover, explore, and engage with exciting STEAM education and workforce opportunities in the Valley.
Though the event is typically hosted outside the museum doors on Central Square, continued closures due to improvement projects led organizers to opt for relocation. Due to the new location, OH WOW! will be closed during the event.
This year’s event will feature many of OH WOW!’s longtime partners including Youngstown State University College of STEM, area robotics teams, The Butler Institute of American Art, SMARTS, The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, and many more. Attendees can anticipate the opportunity to design and fly giant paper airplanes, play in bubbles, ride on robotic recliners, witness chemical reactions, and all the exciting activities provided by the exhibitors.
Additional exhibitors include YWCA Mahoning Valley, First Robotics, MCCTC, Valley STEM Academy, BRITE Energy Innovators, Home Depot- Austintown, Sharon Robotics, City Machine Technologies, Akron Children’s Hospital, America Makes, Roth ID Tag, and many more. In addition to exhibitors, food vendors include Sweet Sips, One Hot Cookie, Armida’s Cucina, and R&J Smokers.
Parking: Covelli Center, 229 East Front St. Youngstown, Ohio 44503.
Admission is free – there is no registration required. Visit the OH WOW! website for more information.
