Next Thursday night, from 6-8, on the San Jacinto College Central Campus – LyondellBasell Center for Petrochemical, Energy, and Technology (7901 Fairmont) is a Mind Trekkers Family night – and evening of STEM activities for the whole family. We have over 100 experiments and demonstrations to engage everyone in the wonder that is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This is a carnival – and the fun is in the learning. There is no charge to attend. Industry sponsors and San Jac volunteers make this event happen for our community.
During the day, we host 5,000 sixth graders – but Family Night is all about the family and the community.
Come on out and “get your Geek on.” The activities are fun for everyone between the ages of 3 and 93. (Under 3 are welcome, but they may not have as much fun; over 93, same caution.)
If you have not seen the amazing labs in the LyondellBasell Center for Petrochemical, Energy, and Technology, staff will be giving tours also. That alone is worth the visit!

Sharing for our friends at Historic Crown Hill Cemetery:
This year the Crown Hill Cemetery Association is celebrating its Veterans history as the focus of its ever growing popular festival and 7th annual Voices of the Past 2024.
This family fun event is done to pull the community together and learn a little bit about the residents in Crown Hill Cemetery and the foundation of the City’s beginning. This intimate event also comes with plenty of general comradery over sausage on a stick among your neighbors near, far, and deep rooted Pasadenian’s are often walking around sharing their stories.
As every year in order to pull off VOTP the event survives by asking our giving community for big favors keeping it fun in the front and party in the back. Ultimately striving for not only the overall success of VOTP but forever seeding the youth to want to volunteer and maintain the cemetery’s heritage.
So looky here friends. To this year’s venue we’ve added a spot for artistic volunteers to sing at VOTP in the genres of swing and boogie-woogie. If you can help us save the day please reach out to Sarah for the details at [email protected] or our contact page https://crownhillcemetery.org/contact/
Also, if you’re not a singer and would be a better volunteer in other areas of the event please reach out. We need you!
