EcoTinker Science Stations

March 10 – May 31 | OPEN DAILY

Connect with nature and the Chattahoochee River this Spring with EcoTinker!

Grab your Science Notebook and explore six interactive stations as you discover how people are using technology to help wildlife. Imagination Playground returns this year with a new twist; work as a team or on your own to solve engineering challenges using the blue blocks.

Stop by Nature Exchange to share what you learned and explore different wildlife careers.

>> EcoTinker stations were designed for 8-12 year old scientists. Younger scientists will be able to complete some of the activities with help from an adult or older sibling. Some activities involve small parts and may not be appropriate for those under the age of 3.

>> Participants who complete 4 of the 6 stations are eligible to enter our weekly drawing for fun science-themed prizes!

>> Included with general admission and free to CNC Members.
