Upcoming Events

Sensory Friendly Family Movie: Luca

Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Disney and Pixar’s original feature film “Luca” is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta, and endless scooter rides. Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, Alberto, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface. Rated PG-95 minutes

The lights will be dimmed and the volume not too loud so you can feel free to be yourself and enjoy the movie! No registration required.

For Kids by Kids: AI Workshop

This class teaches 3rd-5th grade students the basics of AI and machine learning. It is a fun way to introduce AI to students to understand how computers can learn to think like humans. In this class, we learn to train a computer how to distinguish items that do not belong in the ocean (pollution) from living things that should be in the ocean (like fish). We will also talk about problems faced by training AI on certain data – which can result in accidental bias. Registration required.
