In the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) Studio, participants can make their own lunar landing module or landing rover.
Professors from Prairie State College will be on hand to help guests get a close-up look of the moon through a solar telescope or high-powered binoculars.
Prizes will be awarded for best dressed contestants in the outer space costume contest. Don’t forget to save a memory with a photo at the moon landing mural.
