Use the force, go back to the future, phone home, and get beamed up during an evening of sci-fi exploration inspired by galaxies far, far away. Get hands-on with the science that makes the fiction fantastic at this intergalactic event.
Labs, lectures and experiences at this Social Science will include:
Fandom Buttons
Represent your ultimate fandom when you create a custom wearable science fiction fan button.
Galaxy Trivia
Get with a group of friends for a chance to win a Sci-Fi inspired prize and elevate yourself to Jedi status in this interactive journey through the original trilogy.
Pod Racing
Race a friend through an illuminated pod course with mini drones. Sound effects and fun included.
Live Long and Prosper!
Design and create your very own custom comm badge or Starfleet Delta insignia to wear.
Jedi Training
Think you have what it takes to become a Jedi? Grab seven of your friends or fellow Social Science attendees and test your agility, stamina and reaction time as you jump and duck under two moving foam mechanical arms. If you get knocked down, you’re still a padawan.
Mini Lightsabers
(Yoda voice) “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?” Make a powerful miniature lightsaber in the color of your choice.
88 Miles Per Hour
Don’t miss this opportunity to get up-close-and-personal with a 1982 DeLorean replica time machine. Be sure to take a selfie to capture the moment!
Sci-Fi Cocktail
Sample a sci-fi libation made with Tito’s Vodka and handcrafted by the one-and-only Michael Moberly. Grab a copy of recipe and try this one at home.
Come in Costume
Attend this event in your sci-fi best and have a chance to win two tickets to an upcoming Social Science. Winner will be chosen by museum staff and notified at the event.
Great Scott!
Build your very own 3D paper DeLorean while learning the history, science, and facts behind the DMC DeLorean. While you’re at it, use conductive dough, wires and LEDs to create a flux capacitor capable of handling 1.21 jigawatts.
Due to the popularity of the Social Science event series, we strongly recommend that you purchase tickets in advance as capacity is limited and may sell out.
Social Science is The Discovery’s wildly popular adults-only, brain building event series featuring science demonstrations, hands-on labs, expert presentations, music, libations, and tasty bites.
