Pumpkin Chunkin’ is returning to the San Diego Air & Space Museum on October 10\, from 10 am to 1 pm bringing hands-on STEM challenges and plenty of Halloween fun for kids and families. \nThis year\, we’re excited to welcome a local high school robotics team\, who will show visitors some of their amazing robot creations and demonstrate what goes into designing\, building\, and coding a competition robot. Young engineers can then try their own hand at solving Halloween-themed challenges throughout the museum. \nActivities will include: \n\nBuild a Catapult: Design and construct a catapult\, then see how far you can launch a candy pumpkin!\nPumpkin Parachutes: Create a parachute designed to help a pumpkin make a safe landing.\n3D Pen Spider Webs: Experiment with 3D pens to create creepy-crawly spider webs.\nCode a Mouse: Program a robotic mouse to navigate its way through a maze.\nCreate a Monster: Use if-then statements to design a monster that reacts to different situations.\n\nAnd\, of course\, the highlight of Pumpkin Chunkin’ is the moment everyone waits for the PUMPKIN DROP! Watch as pumpkins take flight in a spectacular finale that combines a little Halloween fun with a lot of physics and engineering. \nThere will be one small difference this year: the museum is currently covered in scaffolding as part of ongoing work on the building. So a new and exciting pumpkin platform will be used. \nHalloween Fun for Everyone\nPumpkin Chunkin’ is included with museum admission\, and October is Kids Free Month at the San Diego Air & Space Museum! During October\, up to two children per one paid adult admission can visit the museum for free. \nYouth groups are welcome\, too! Groups of 10–25 youth and their chaperones can attend for free with advance registration. To preregister your group\, email education@sdasm.org. \nCostumes are welcome! Come dressed as your favorite astronaut\, scientist\, robot\, monster\, or anything else you can imagine. \nJoin us for Pumpkin Chunkin’ and discover that some of the best Halloween fun comes with a little engineering mixed in!

SUMMARY:Topdog/Underdog
DESCRIPTION:Broadway director Steve H. Broadnax III returns to the Globe after last season’s thrilling Appropriate to direct an intimate new staging of Suzan-Lori Parks’s Pulitzer Prize–winning modern classic\, which The New York Times hailed as the greatest American play of the past 25 years. Brothers Lincoln and Booth hustle for survival through the street con game of three-card monte. Their bond is tested by rivalry\, resentment\, and the elusive promise of the American Dream. By turns funny\, provocative\, and charged\, Topdog/Underdog charts the razor-thin line between ambition and self-destruction. \nTopdog/Underdog is supported by Lead Production Sponsors Dr. Ronald and Mrs. Ruth W. Leonardi and The David Martin Finkelstein Trust. \nSingle tickets go on sale Friday\, August 7\, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.

SUMMARY:India Thompson: Looks Like Home
DESCRIPTION:India Thompson reflects on ownership and emotional attachment through intricately woven reed sculptures\, transforming everyday domestic objects into meditations on home in the age of renting. \n\n\n\n\nIndia Thompson: Looks Like Home explores emotional attachment to the ordinary domestic objects in the places we call home in the age of renting. By meticulously weaving works from reed\, the artist creates versions of her apartment’s contents\, unpacking what it means to live in a space that is not legally hers. Thompson transforms familiar\, perhaps oft-overlooked\, forms we depend on in our daily routine—such as a microwave\, toilet\, or refrigerator—into poignant sculptural pieces. \nIndia Thompson (b. December 20\, 1995\, Los Angeles\, CA) is a multidisciplinary artist based in San Diego. While ceramic is her primary artistic medium\, this exhibition_ _highlights Thompson’s exploration of basketry– a time-consuming process the artist describes as one of “care and memory-keeping.” Her humorous and tender sculptures show us how craft remains a powerful storytelling medium as well as a reminder of the importance of basketry across cultures.
