Coming Black Friday: Unseen Signals.

Before podcasts, playlists, and streaming, there was radio, and one inventor helped make it sound the way we know it today. Unseen Signals, a traveling exhibit from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Global Museum, tells the story of Edwin H. Armstrong, the radio pioneer and IEEE Medal of Honor recipient whose work helped build the broadcasting industry.

Opening Friday, November 27th at miSci. Follow along for sneak peeks in the weeks ahead.

We’re heading to Albany this Saturday to join our Next Engineers partners at Nanovember: STEM and Nanotechnology Family Day at UAlbany. We're even more excited because we heard the event is at capacity and we can't wait to see so many community members enjoying hands-on science! Science, curiosity, and learning are just some of our favorite things here at miSci.

With more than 20 activities: robots, Oobleck, LEGO building, weather and climate experiments, and materials so small they can bend light we just know there will be tons to do for everyone attending.

If you're joining in be sure to stop by and say hi!

Today, miSci honors all who have served.

To the veterans in our community and across the country: thank you for your service, your courage, and your sacrifice.

Schenectady’s history of innovation is closely tied to the people who served, from engineers and inventors who supported our nation’s defense to the veterans who returned home to build careers in science and technology right here in the Capital Region.

If you’re a veteran or have a veteran in your life, we invite you to share their story in the comments so we can honor them together.
