Imaginology Goes Virtual April 19 to 25

This year, Imaginology will be virtual – all the S.T.E.A.M. fun will be at the fingertips of students, parents and teachers this month, from April 19 to 25. Still free and open to all, Imaginology is bringing science, technology, engineering, arts and math to students of all ages with lots of hands-on learning.

Most activities will take place on ocfair.com/imaginology and on their social media channels, including Facebook (OC Fair) and Instagram (@oc_fair).

Here's what's in store for Imaginology Goes Virtual:
