Proceeds from the evening will benefit the museum and its goal to continue and expand its hands-on educational programs that serve local and international students.
Next month, museum's ongoing STEM Saturdays program will begin again with the first of four monthly sessions. The program for children ages 8 to 13 provides space-related activities in science, technology, engineering and math.
