The Lancaster Science Factory will be participating in the Extraordinary Give, and again this year, we are presenting three events that are out of this world as they host “The Science of Star Wars” on November 12, 13 and 18, 2016.

Money raised will benefit the Lancaster Science Factory, a non-profit science and technology center located at 454 New Holland Avenue, Lancaster, PA, where we create an environment of learning which helps children develop curiosity, think creatively and build self-confidence as they learn the principles of science and the application of science in engineering and technology.
