In addition to the above-themed programs, the following are also available:
Fairy Tale STEAM Lab
Stories, Science, Art, and Engineering collide as participants investigate, design, and engineer creations that “save” animal characters plucked from traditional fairy tales!
Wizards and Magic
Participants investigate chemistry (think bubbling potions), engage in fun science demonstrations that seem like “magic”, and young wizards learn some cool physics tricks!
Artists and Makers
Art and science meet in this fast-paced, creative program! Participants who love to draw, paint, craft, and tell stories will love using science to make art!
Story Time STEAM
Participants use STEAM to craft, tell, and share their own stories in innovative ways- combining science, art, and engineering! The process can be magical, transformative, confidence-building, and a lot of fun!
