About

Alex Hall

Alex has been engaged in informal science education for more than three decades. A former science center CEO, children's science book author, and current mom to a rising fifth grader, Alex has taught all ages about physics, space, aviation and just being curious about everything!

Alex used to present laser shows in the mid 1990's in a planetarium in Florida and has a lot of fond memories of the marriage of music and vivid art. Alex authored the curriculum for Laser Camp, and loved the concept so much, she decided she had to run one in her home town. You can find out more about Alex here.
