Learn the  “ways of the Jedi” when Sternberg Museum of Natural History holds this year’s first Friday Night at the Museum, scheduled for 6 to 10 p.m. Friday.

Families and students from grades kindergarten and up are welcome to join the event as Sternberg’s Education Assistant Ian Trevethan connects science education to the sci-fi world of “Star Wars” movies and the history of the Jedi Knights.

Sternberg staff and volunteers will also be on hand Friday to help participants learn the ways of the Jedi.

Attendees will learn how a lightsaber works, discuss the possibility of seeing a real lightsaber here on earth, explore the cultural geography of our own planet and, finally, construct his or her own lightsaber.

Costumes and Jedi attire are encouraged.

Friday Night at the Museum is $15 for members. and $20 for non-members.
