Experience Halloween -- Exploratorium style. Join in-costume for a ghoulish grab-bag of tricks and treats as the Exploratorium transforms into a Phantasmagorium of spooky science and frightful fun. In the first annual
October 31st Halloween fright night, the Exploratorium digs six feet under the cultural and scientific phenomena behind Halloween, Dia de los Muertos,
and death. Find out how nature deals with death and regeneration with a decomposing snake at the Energy from Death exhibit. Get sucked into the
finer points of leech science with nurses (in costume, but for real) from the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN). Walk through a
"graveyard" dedicated to debunked science ideas, including the recently entombed Pluto is a Planet (1930 - 2006). Witness the Iron Science Teacher competition where teachers compete before a live audience -- with Halloween candy as the "secret" ingredient underlying their experiments. Or, catch a sugar skull candy-making demonstration with master confectioner Irma Ortiz, among other events.
