Unearth your love for science in this fun and interactive S.T.E.M. show for the whole family.

Kick off the 2026 Montgomery County Public Library Summer Reading Challenge with Science Heroes.

Activities include: 

With help from audience volunteers, we’ll conduct exciting science experiments all about the changing states of matter, pressure, and more — while raising a shovel to scientists who work with dirt!  Unearth your love for science in this fun and interactive S.T.E.M. show for the whole family.  If you didn’t already love science, you’ll really ‘dig it’ after seeing Science Heroes in action!
