Sound of Science Family Event 2010
“My family and I love Gateway to Science! My children think all of the hands-on activities are fun and interesting. The brain teasers, especially, are particularly engaging. I love the fact that we learn something new every time we go. We also enjoy the special activity days such as Rocket Day, Bubble Day and the Halloween activities. Whenever we have been there, whether as a family or on a school field trip, the Gateway to Science staff has been welcoming, encouraging and helpful. We’ve also utilized our membership at other science museums throughout the country and feel that our membership has been a great value. Thanks for being such an awesome organization!”
Sincerely,
Jennifer B.

Not a dull moment at Gateway to Science! Beth is busy as a bee finalizing details for Einstein on Wine, our 7th Annual fundraiser, getting ticket sales out the door and getting all the silent auction items lined up. If you haven’t gotten your tickets, You better hurry up! Few tickets will be sold at the door. Many great events will take place after Einstein on Wine. Preparations are already being made for ‘Da Genius Da Vinci’ and the 2011 Bowling Tournament! Beth is already putting long hours to make sure both upcoming events are a success.
Christie, our program coordinator is already getting registrations for our upcoming Environmental Festival on March 16th, 2011. This will be our 12th Annual Environmental Festival. Confirmed speakers are already lined up. Many hours and many deadlines are involved through this great Event! In between now and then, she is also getting ready for our first family event of the year Winter Wonderland, our annual Widget Contest, and Gateway to Science newest program Explore Engineering . These are just a few of the programs and events that are keeping Christie very busy!
Publication of the winter newsletter is on its way. I am having the opportunity to experience first hand the many events that Gateway to Science puts together. A learning experience, as well as very rewarding. Putting press releases together, media promotions of future events, updating our website , sending information to our members, and helping here and there with upcoming programs and events at Gateway to Science, and at the same attending all the fun festivities, what else could I possible asked for?
With visitors coming into our exhibit gallery on a daily basis, the Young Scientists Club in progress, and just wrapping up past events, in good company of our staff, board members, and the support of our members, we are glad to be here!
Getting together with family and friends during the upcoming holidays and visiting the Science Center is a must on your checklist! In the last couple of months we received visitors from Texas, Virginia, Colorado, and California. They all wrote great comments about the Exhibit Gallery on our guest book! So come on over! We’d love to see you!

The 4th Annual Chemistry Demo Night at Gateway to Science was Magical! What a Show!
Posted by: | Comments
Over 160 people attended Chemistry Demo Night at Gateway to Science yesterday evening!
The evening was filled with discovery and mystery! Local Chemistry teacher Scott Weigum performed amazing, exciting chemistry demonstrations “Hollywood” style with special effects like in the movies! It was like a magic show with the secrets revealed! Visitors learned about naturally occurring phenomena of everyday chemistry, as well as the not-so-everyday.
Ashli Kimenker from KFYR-TV -Country Morning News, was live from High Prairie Arts and Science Complex in Bismarck Tuesday morning, to preview Gateway to Science`s Chemistry Demo Night in honor of National Chemistry Week. See video Chemistry Demo Night 2010.
Join us next year at Our 5th Annual Chemistry Demo Night 2011, and also in the celebration of National Chemistry Week 2011!

Celebrate National Chemistry Week 2010
Posted by: | Comments
This year’s “Behind the Scenes with Chemistry” theme celebrates the chemistry of special effects and magic.
Join us this evening at Gateway to Science, and discover how Chemistry is everywhere, whether prominent as a science fair project or tucked behind the scenes of a movie set or book. Explore the special effects in movies to appreciate that it is not magic, but rather common chemical concepts which explain the mystery behind the “magic” that is shown.
Current shows such as MYTHBUSTERS and books such as The Science of Harry Potter bring behind scenes science to prominent view. If you are a scientist at heart go to American Chemical Society-Chemistry for Life website and learn how sign up for a free kit on “How to Be A Chemistry Ambassador” , you can also download a free hands-on activity newspaper.
Each year National Chemistry Week reaches millions of people with positive messages about the contributions of chemistry.
National Chemistry Week is a program of the American Chemical Society’s Office of Volunteer Support!
We are expecting a large crowd! Join in the celebration of NCW 2010! Remember the show starts at 7:pm. Thank you Scott Weigum -you are the most important part of this event !
