Pacsci Podcast

August is here and stargazing is peaking. Get some inspiration here then get out there and be curious!

In this PacSci Podcast we discuss what it means to be a tinker and why the process of design, build, test, repeat is important to makers and huge companies alike.

As the world marks the 50th anniversary of a remarkable achievement in space, it's worth remembering that Pacific Science Center would not be what it is today without space exploration.

PacSci's What is Reality project is reaching new heights this summer. In this PacSci Podcast we explore new experiences and new developments that promise to take things to places yet unimagined.

Take a selfie on the moon, visit with penguins, and witness an entirely new business model emerge. Pacific Science Center's What Is Reality project is changing this summer and we invite you to experience it. Learn more in this PacSci Podcast.

Summer has officially arrived now and that means all sorts of fun outdoor activities are erupting all around our part of the world, including the return of a beloved show at Pacific Science Center...something we call Danger Science.

Some of Pacific Science Center's most fascinating exhibits may fool you. They may not appear to be exhibits at all. In this PacSci Podcast we explore the green side of our campus and how you can create your own exhibit space at home.

PacSci's newest exhibit (opens June 15, 2019) is all about a natural phenomenon that affects us all and is a growing concern each summer: wildfires. This exhibit is teamed with a public art installation we mentioned in our last report. Learn more about the exhibit in this quick PacSci Podcast then make plans to experience both before they close this fall.

PacSci teams up with a local artist to help prepare for a troublesome new summer tradition: The Season of Smoke.

In the more than half century of Pacific Science Center's existence, taking a field trip to our main campus next to Seattle Center has become a tradition at schools all over the Northwest. But starting in the 70s, another Science Center program has become just as traditional: it's Pacific Science Center's Science On Wheels program that has engaged with students and teachers and community events reaching millions more all over our part of the world.

Pacific Science Center invites you to have a blast with us as Seattle's Summer of Space celebration goes skyward. We call this event Rocket Launch Day. Learn all about it in this quick PacSci Podcast then make plans to join us Tuesday, July 16.

It's the month of May, that time of year to celebrate warmer weather, blooming flowers, and mothers. In this PacSci Podcast we learn that humans share something with all other living things and that being a mother may not look the same to all species but at its heart accomplishes the same thing. Happy Mother's Day to all and be curious! In this episode we mention a previous story about beach etiquette.

Imagine a place, a very special, some would say spiritual place that looks pretty much like it did hundreds if not thousands of years ago. This place is called the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia and it's the focus of Pacific Science Center's latest IMAX documentary. In this PacSci Pocast we talk with the film's director to learn about the forest, its wildlife, and the humans who've cared for the place for generations.
