| | Forty and Fabulous! |  Forty years ago, the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center opened its doors and brought interactive exhibits and the world's first IMAX® Dome Theater to San Diego. Today, the Fleet inspires minds and connects individuals to science and technology through more than 100 "do touch" exhibits for all ages and amazing IMAX films and planetarium shows in the recently renovated Heikoff Giant Dome Theater. Celebrate with us! Our year-long birthday celebration features a blockbuster exhibition, incredible events and dynamic educational experiences. More>>Celebrate beginning Saturday, March 9.
The fun continues all year long! | | SciTech Girls Asteroid Challenge--Landing an Unmanned Probe on an Asteroid |  Members of our after school program emulate scientists attempting to land an unmanned probe on an asteroid. They must design a device for an Earth-based test to safely deploy scientific instruments from a spacecraft to three vastly different areas on a simulated asteroid. Watch them use skill, ingenuity and teamwork to successfully land their probes!
