Themes
Earth and Space Science
Grades Pre-K-10
Students will have an out-of-this-world experience as they explore the solar system and beyond. They will discover how stars are born, learn facts about the objects in our solar system, model the moon’s phases and explore how objects orbit each other. Then they will come back down to Earth to experiment with erosion, observe and classify rocks and so much more. They are sure to have a blast!
Forces and Motion
Grades Pre-K-10
Forces, motion, engineering...oh my! Students will explore Newton’s Three Laws of Motion and the Engineering Design Process as they experiment with magnets, rockets and create a machine that can transport a marble.
Structures
Grades Pre-K-10
Students will become structural engineers as they explore how science and math combine to create amazing architecture. Students will be challenged to create Roman arches and earthquake-resistant buildings, build bridges, follow blueprints and design domes, along with other activities that will have your students building big!
New-Tinkering
Grades K-12
Get ready to make and discover as we transform your space into a hub of creativity! Through immersive activities, students will have the opportunity to experience the latest in engineering, electronics, fabrication, coding and robotics. Each of these activities is designed to teach critical skills for the future and provide insight into what it’s like to work in the STEAM fields. Students will experience state-of-the-art technology like laser cutters and 3-D printers, empowering them to unleash their inner inventor as they create, build and experiment.
