Discovery Cube Los Angeles’s sleepover program offers an overnight experience for groups that want to enjoy the Cube exclusively to themselves. The Sleepover program started on Saturday evening with a pizza dinner. Afterward, students were free to enjoy both floors of the museum, including the Doc McStuffins-themed exhibits that are currently on display. The Discovery Cube scientists held a presentation in the Planetary Research Station, giving students a guided tour of the solar system displayed on a giant sphere-shaped screen. Also, students enjoyed participating in hands-on activities, movies, and snacks throughout the evening. On Sunday morning, the museum staff provided breakfast and time for students to explore the museum and gift shop before the public was invited in for the day.
During Parent Conference weeks, Fenton students enjoyed several assemblies after school. After early dismissal, "Melodies of China" performed traditional music using regional instruments. The Sky Dome featured a planetary presentation, highlighting some of the most amazing features students can view in the night sky. Repatcular Animals presenter introduced students to some amazing animals, many we were able to touch and hold!

Through unique workshops, Disney offers students specialized curriculum and learning environments. Disney is committed to fostering creative thinking, fearless exploration and, of course, Disney magic!
Storytelling Workshop (3rd and 4th grade).
At Disney, everyone is a storyteller. In this revealing course, students will get an inside look at how Disney Imagineers create immersive environments that support the living stories of our theme parks. Through this journey they’ll discover how a wide range of disciplines––from live performances and music to sculptures and culinary arts––all come together to bring stories to life inside the Disney Theme Parks.
Physics of Disney Parks (4th and 5th grade)
In this workshop, students have an opportunity to investigate the role that physics plays in the design and operation of Disney theme park attractions and entertainment—with principles including Newton’s 3 laws of motion, gravity and potential and kinetic energy.
They will likely be curious about what makes Disney attractions and entertainment so magical. They’ll soon discover the answer is Disney Imagineers—living proof that creativity and science are integral partners.
