Science museum launches trivia nights

EUREKA! McConnell Science Museum, 1400 N. Seventh St., will host Trivia at EUREKA! events Jan. 29 and Feb. 26. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the events will run from 6:30 to 8 p.m., allowing guests to explore the museum’s interactive exhibits before the trivia rounds officially kick off.

The trivia rounds will be entirely dedicated to the world of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math). Questions will range from pop-culture science to historic inventions and are designed to challenge and entertain everyone from casual fans to seasoned experts, EUREKA! said in a news release. Even the prizes for the winning teams will be STEAM-related.

“We wanted to create a fun, social atmosphere where adults can engage with science in a totally different way,” EUREKA! Program Coordinator Kristen Kollus said. “By combining friendly competition with our hands-on exhibits, we’re inviting the community to rediscover their sense of wonder, all while supporting a great cause.”

The event is free to attend, and guests will have the opportunity to purchase beer and wine throughout the evening. Since alcohol is allowed, the event is only for adults over 21 years. Every drink sold has a direct impact on local youth, as all proceeds from the event go toward the EUREKA! Scholarship Fund, which provides camp and program access to students in need throughout the Grand Valley.
