The Balloon Museum is looking for volunteers to assist with family-friendly activities during the mornings over spring break. Interested visitors will explore the properties of air propulsion as we Make Things Fly! We will launch trash can liner bag balloons with hair dryers, activate balloon rockets, and maximize the flight of paper helicopters. Volunteers will assist at activity tables or act as hosts in our interactive Elevation Station.
On Wednesday, Science Girl will join us with fun demonstrations and activities described below.
If you enjoy learning through playing, please join us!
Questions? Contact Diane Short, Education Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator at dshort@cabq.gov.
