Households can get up to 2 kits total. We have drive-up and walk-up options: Drive-up: Museum staff will direct you to pull your car up to a designated spot on Jayhawk Boulevard in front of the north entrance of the museum (closest to the KU Memorial Union). Then they’ll give you a kit containing all materials needed for the Story Book Science STEM Challenges on March 10 and 24, as well as materials for Pop Up Science – Bird Beaks! on March 20. Our program videos remain online too, so if you can't follow along on the day of the event, you can still do science with us when it's convenient for your young scientist! Walk-up: You can walk up to the museum to pick up a kit, too! Museum staff will direct you to the pick-up location while maintaining a 6-foot distance between you and others.
