Homeschool Days: Wild Builders & Beastly Blueprints

Discover how animals become nature’s greatest engineers! Students will learn how beavers, birds, spiders, ants, and other amazing animals build homes, bridges, and shelters that inspire modern engineering. Through hands-on building challenges and creative problem-solving, they'll learn how fascinating adaptions make animal architecture possible.

Join us for a special day of learning designed for homeschool families! Each program begins with an interactive presentation or film in the Caperton Planetarium and Theater, followed by a hands-on STEM Lab experience in our classrooms.

Families register and attend together, with both students and adults participating in the planetarium and lab activities.

Children who receive Hope Scholarship funds may allocate those funds for this program through the Hope Scholarship Portal. Please note: scholarship funds can only be applied to the cost of the child’s participation and cannot be used to cover adult admission. Once funds are allocated in the portal, the Clay Center will contact you to finalize your registration. If you have not heard from us after 2 business days, do not hesitate to contact our Box Office for further assistance.

Limited space available. Early registration is recommended.
