Get ready to catch the excitement as Hilliard becomes a scientific playground during the COSI Science Festival. From April 30 to May 2, the city will join the Columbus area in hosting a plethora of events designed to spark curiosity and engage the minds of young and old alike. The festival culminates in the eagerly anticipated COSI Eggsperiment Community Drop on May 2 at Municipal Park, near the Hilliard Family Aquatic Center. The event is scheduled to run from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with no admission fee. However, registration is encouraged to participate in the festivities.
Hilliard will be the drop zone for science enthusiasts, as attendees are invited to creatively engineer devices aimed at keeping an egg unscathed from a high-altitude fall. These protective contraptions will be tested by dropping them from the top of a fire truck, in partnership with Norwich Township Fire. It's a challenge that combines fun and education, offering a hands-on experience that embodies the spirit of the COSI Science Festival.
The first 100 participants to arrive at the event can look forward to an additional treat—a free COSI Science Experiment box. Packed with a slew of activities, these boxes are meant to extend the joy and discovery of science beyond the festival grounds and into the homes of each recipient. It's a tangible take-home that keeps the quest for knowledge going, offering more than just a momentary thrill.
The community-driven nature of this festival is underscored by the partnership between COSI and local organizations. It is an initiative that seeks not only to entertain but also to genuinely foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for science within the community. With activities spread across the city, the festival is more than just an event; it's a shared experience designed to bring together families, friends, and neighbors in the pursuit of discovery.
