Annual City of Science at Washington Square Park & NYU Kimmel Center

June 2, 2019 by Teresa Wang

City of Science is a little out of our neighborhood, but still below 14th street and a lot of amazing outdoors and indoors fun and learning. This World Science Festival favorite is a larger-than-life event where science, technology, engineering, and math collide! We take science out of the labs and onto the streets. Washington Square Park and beyond transforms into a laboratory where you can put on a spacesuit and train like an astronaut. Spin till you’re dizzy in a multi-access trainer, drive a rover, and hop aboard a fully functional flight simulator. You’ll also be able to examine actual space dust, sit on a space commode, toss marbles into orbit, and much more.

When you want to come back down to Earth, step inside the NYU Kimmel Center and enter our virtual reality world that goes from the macrocosm to the microcosm. Take a virtual tour of the International Space Station and the planets in our solar system, and get up close with insects and all kinds of living creatures in our national parks.

Workshops, talks, interactive demonstrations, hands-on activities, and exciting exhibitions will run throughout the day.

Date: Sunday, June 2nd

Time: 10:00am — 5:00pm

Location: 60 Washington Square S (NYU Kimmel Center) & Washington Square Park

Age(s): All ages

Fee: Free!

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
