Take an engaging, educational trip through space!
Suggested ages 6+, and all children must be accompanied by a caregiver.
Professor Universe shows take important science concepts, boil them down into easy-to-understand ideas, and present them through fun, playful, and interactive performances. With a riveting plot, kids will help Professor Universe on his journey while meeting characters that represent the science they learn along the way. In this show, "Found in the Stars," we will learn how gravity, matter, and stars are connected; how stars are born and become black holes; and how light is made of photons, changes color with energy, and includes invisible “colors” that exist beyond the rainbow.
