Thank you for making Celebrate Science Day such an incredible community event! โœˆ๏ธ Over 1,000 people joined us at Reading Regional Airport to experience science activities, aviation-themed experiences, demonstrations, local organizations, and interactive fun throughout the afternoon. One of the best parts of the day was seeing families learning, exploring, and making memories together in such a unique setting. Events like this are only possible because of strong community support and collaboration.

We are grateful to our volunteers, community partners, airport partners, and every family who spent the day with us. Most importantly, thank you to our sponsors for helping us provide this event free of charge for the community. Enjoy some of our favorite moments from the day ๐Ÿ“ธ
