Community Evenings are exclusive events hosted throughout the year for all students, teachers and families from NJ’s 31 Abbott school districts. Held after hours, from 5:30 pm until 9:00 pm, families are invited to explore the Science Center’s themed exhibition galleries, experience the excitement of IMAX® films* and 3D shows*, and engage in special family programming, live demonstrations and hands-on activities all at no cost, parking not included.

2011-12 Community Evening Calendar

April 4, 2012
Theme: Financial Literacy, in partnership with Fidelity Investments
We understand the importance of literacy; however, children must be “literate” about money matters, too. Learning how to think about money and manage it wisely is an equally important life skill. Are you ready to write a check? What’s the starting salary of your dream job? Can you make a sample budget? What is the stock market? What are the best ways to shop and share? Are credit cards safe or scary? Learn techniques to help children grow into financially responsible adults. The rewards are life-altering.
