Idaho State University Idaho Museum of Natural History and Idaho Public Television will present a night of scientific exploration with Science Trek 2013, which runs from 6 p.m. Friday, April 12, to 8 a.m. Saturday, April 13, at the Museum.

The overnight, sleep-at-the-museum experience will allow children in third through the fifth grades to learn about the frontiers of science. The workshop-style Science Trek Adventures includes hands-on activities and live science presentations, experiments and demonstrations.

Children will have the thrill of an overnight stay at the museum with the saber-tooth cat, the Columbian mammoth, and the International Space Station, among other rare and unique museum exhibits. They will be allowed to choose one of a variety of science workshops to explore the exciting fields of science, technology, engineering and Mathematics.
