Do you know where your kids are? They could be at the Kaleidoscope! 🔬🤖🎭♟️
Fall Enrichment Clubs are back at Kaleidoscope Discovery Center, and we have a whole week of reasons for kids to stop by after school!
From Chess, Creative Theater & Puppetry and Coding to FIRST LEGO League Robotics, Flight Club, Future City Engineering, Green Crafting, tabletop strategy and more, there’s a place for kids who love to build, create, compete, perform, experiment—or just discover something new.
Clubs meet 3:30–5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with options for students in grades K–12. Choose one day a week for $50/month, or spend the whole week with us for $200/month.
(School bus drop off from Rolla schools.)

Discovery doesn’t have to.

🔥 What happens when science gets REALLY hot? Find out at the first Teen Science Café of the new school year!

Join us Thursday, September 3, as we meet Ben Hilgers, a Rolla resident and Ph.D. student in metallurgical engineering at Missouri S&T. Ben will introduce us to the world of metallurgy and engineering — through a behind the scenes tour of Missouri S&T facilities to see where STEM happens.

Teens will have plenty of time to talk with Ben about metallurgy, engineering, what college is really like, and the many different paths a STEM career can take.

🔥 Teen Science Café with Ben Hilgers
📅 Thursday, September 3, 2026
⏰ 5:30–7:00 pm
🎓 Ages 13–18
🎟️ FREE — registration required
📍 Location details provided after registration

Teen Science Café isn't a lecture. It's a chance to meet STEM professionals, ask questions, explore real STEM spaces, and find out what a future in science and engineering might actually look like.
