Event Details

Each week we’ll explore a different area of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) in a fun and creative ways! *Registration recommended - Seating is limited. Registration is separate for each Sunday.

  1. Paper Bridges: Using only paper and tape, students will create bridges and test their strength with coins or small objects. They'll explore concepts like load distribution, tension, and compression while competing to build the strongest bridge, in our presentation. 

  2. Building the Cell! Students will build their own animal cells.

  3. Balloon Rockets: Basics of Newton's Laws. Students build balloon rockets using string, tape, straws, and balloons. They’ll race their rockets to see whose design travels the farthest and experiment with factors like balloon size or string angle.

  4. Static Electricity with Balloons

  5. Make Your Own Compass: Students magnetize a needle by rubbing it with a magnet, then float it on water using a cork or piece of foam.
