Come out to see us at the The Lancaster Science Factory tonight from 5-7 pm! Entrance is free for First Friday. Weโ€™re asking kids to draw scientists and tell us where they think science can happen. Kids even get a little science themed trinket for helping us out.

Happy Water Week! We are so excited to be hosting lots of different activities during First Friday to help celebrate Water Week! Lancaster Conservancy will be here handing out seeds, F&M Psychology Department is doing a Draw a Scientist activity, and LSF staff will be running EnviroScape demonstrations!

As always, our standard First Friday rules and guidelines still apply:
