Discoveries
made in science during the Renaissance era not only
changed the world, but continue to influence modern day
society. The SciTech festival is a proud presenter of the
Arizona Renaissance Festival’s Age of Discovery.
Explore
the Festival’s thirty acre, sixteenth century European
Village. Roam the streets and pathways where you can talk
to Galileo about Astronomy! Observe in awe, as artisans
craft their wares using scientific techniques,
demonstrating blacksmithing, glassblowing, shoemaking, and
weaving.
Go
to the CROFT-Local Yokel Village and watch aspects of
chemistry at work in the daily chores of 16th century
life. Speak to Da Vinci about his sketches, technical
drawings, or pose as Mona Lisa would have- showing your
Mona Lisa smile. Learn about what Arizona was like in the
16th Century!
There
is SO MUCH to Explore! Where else can you rub shoulders
with Da Vinci, Medici, Da Gama, Galileo or Shakespeare to
name a few. Enjoy, explore and be entertained as you make
your way through our village’s thirty acres of hands on
learning; a thirteen stage theatre, an arts and craft
fair, jousting tournament! Children will enjoy Da Vinci’s
Flying Machine, among the many other people powered rides
and other offerings. Do not miss this unique experience!
HUZZAH!
