Las Vegas, NV
Barb Likos, our Henderson Area Leader for SHEA, has scheduled a fantastic field trip for homeschoolers for Thursday, May 8th at Laser Quest!
Lasers and Mazes is designed for Grades 4-9. Obviously that is a loose guideline for us homeschoolers. You know your kids the best.
It is a two hour event. They start by playing a 20 minute game. Then they have a demonstration of the inner workings of a laser and they conduct an experiment on the property of light. They also discuss history of mazes and see the actual design of the maze they played on. A 12 minute video is shown that talks about how lasers and mazes are used in everyday life. The last part lets everyone play another 20 minute game. This lets them try out all their newfound knowledge.
Here is a link to their video which shows the event:

The event will be at 12:30. It is $13 per participant, plus a small handling fee for paypal and bank fees of $1.50 per ticket. A participant is defined as anyone who plays laser tag. We need to pay as a group so this event is PREPAID ONLY!!! You can bring in snacks or lunch and drinks.
