Capitol Discovery Week

It's Capital Discovery Week at the Utah State Capitol.  If you need something to do this Saturday, you should definitely check this out.  It's FREE!  I want to go with my kids so they learn more about the State Capitol.

Here's some information about Capitol Discover Day.

Capitol Discovery Day

These events are all in addition to our Capitol Discovery Day to be held on September 18 from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in which the public can participate in fun and informative activities about our Utah Capitol.
Capitol Discovery Day offers a variety of hands-on activities, tours, music and presentations to engage everyone in the family. Activities for families to learn about architectural crafts reflecting the skills used to build the Capitol nearly 90 years ago include:

-Dome Construction: Build small geodesic domes with toothpicks and gumdrops.
-Coloring Activity: Color copies of the murals with crayons
-Gold Leafing: Use 6x6 gold leafing squares and paint with wooden cutouts.
-Creating Mosaics: Glue paper squares on construction paper.
-Sculpting Symbols: Beehives, wyverns, eagles, acorn, sego lily
-Stencils: Use Capitol symbols to create wonderful stencils.
-Shake Table Demonstration: See how an earthquake shakes a building while it is protected with base isolators and without base isolators.
-Room Tours: Governor's Ceremonial Office, State Receptions Room, House Chambers, Senate Chambers and Supreme Court
-I-Spy Treasure Hunt: Look around the Capitol for amazing art, architecture and artifacts. Receive a small goody-bag of school supplies.
