Be active\, stay safe\, and have safe fun in the hot sun. \n\n\n\nCranium Connection\n\n\n\nKids learn about the inner workings of the brain in the Poe Center’s 4D Cranium Connection exhibit. Located in the lobby\, the “brain theater” features a 20-by-20 foot cave-like space with decorative lighting to simulate veins and nerves. Visitors enter the Cranium Connection behind the ear to view a brain health education program through two large monitors at the front of the theater\, which are located where the eyes would be. Nerf balls are gently launched at the audience during the program to demonstrate the reactions of the nervous system to stimuli. \n\n\n\nPlayWELL Park\n\n\n\nFollowing the programs\, kids will enjoy exclusive access to the Poe Center’s body-systems themed playground. Our 1.5-acre shaded and fenced playground offers children a safe place to learn about health and engage in imaginative educational play. Climb a giant rib cage\, zip between two ears\, and rest and reset in our MindWELL Garden. Picnic shelters are available for lunch. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit the Poe Center’s Upcoming Events page for additional Homeschool Day events. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule of Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. \n\n\n\n\n\nSummertime Safety \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:50 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. \n\n\n\n\n\nCranium Connection: Brain-Science Presentation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:15 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\nPlayWELL Park \n\n\n\n(Visitors are welcome to bring a lunch to enjoy at our covered picnic areas during this time). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs this a drop-off event?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo. Adults should plan to remain on campus for the duration of Homeschool Day \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I stay with my child during Homeschool Day?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYes.
