As we kick off this week when most students are off from school, we are exploring a little more about fire safety. Our Junior Fire Marshall Training Program is offered a few times a day during our operating hours. Visitors who complete this program will be official Junior Fire Marshalls and receive a commemorative fire helmet to celebrate the achievement. Today, we are going to give you a short preview of the program and some tips to keep you and your family safe. We also encourage you to come complete the training during your next visit to the Science Center, more information can be found on our website. The Junior Fire Marshal Training Program is included with General Admission or a Membership.
There is so much more Science Sunday to explore. Check out the full gallery of segments on our blog: https://ctsciencecenter.org/blog_categories/science-play/.
