Earth Month Eco Challenge Returns to Discovery Cube Orange County

Discovery Cube Orange County kicked off its Earth Month Eco Challenge with hands-on activities and sustainability-focused exhibits taking place each weekend throughout April in partnership with OC Waste & Recycling.

Designed to educate and inspire the next generation, the experience features five interactive exhibits and themed programming centered on environmental awareness and science-based learning.

Guests can take part in a worm cart demonstration that shows composting and decomposition in action, along with a cloud watch activity focused on identifying cloud types and understanding their role in the water cycle. A microplastics awareness station highlights the impact of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems, while the windmill creation station invites kids to build their own models and learn how wind energy supports a more sustainable future.

The Organics Waste Lab, sponsored by OC Waste & Recycling, offers an interactive look at composting through games and exhibits that explore how long different food items take to break down and the important role worms play in the environment. In recognition of Earth Month, the exhibit also features new videos on vermicomposting, organic farming, the life cycle of a butterfly, and recycling and waste reduction.

Additional eco-themed programming will take place throughout the month, encouraging young visitors to explore sustainability through engaging, hands-on science.

Eco Challenge dates include April 10 to 12, April 18 and 19, and April 25 and 26.
