STEM education nonprofit Girlstart is known for its semi-monthly first-Thursday Starry Night, which invites families to its mini planetarium for star shows and hands-on astronomy activities. It’s always a fun and enriching evening, but this time they’ll be vroom-vrooming through some science stuff related to the Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix, on account of F1 racing into town mid-October. Family members of all ages and genders are welcome to join, and you can find more info and RSVP at Girlstart.org. – Kat McNevins
