The Science Museum expanded its Glow event on Feb. 1 to coincide with the opening of “Towers of Tomorrow with Lego Bricks.” The event, held from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., featured hands-on activities, live demonstrations and laser shows.

Formerly known as Science After Dark, Glow highlighted STEM education through interactive experiences. Visitors engaged with science, technology, engineering and mathematics in daily life through attractions such as a dance party, glowing beverages, DIY constellation crafts and glow-in-the-dark games.
