Challenge your students to define problems and design solutions using a Bee-Bot® programmable floor robot. Students will use coding and programming to practice letters, colors, numbers, and more. These activities are designed to challenge students’ observational skills while working toward a common goal in an inclusive, creative, and fun environment.
Empower your preschoolers to discover their inner problem-solver! Engage with hands-on challenges that use familiar materials in creative ways. Explore science concepts like forces of nature, loud and soft noises, and balance and motion. Become an expert engineer by looking closely at the world around you and figuring out how to make it better.

Students will work collaboratively to define problems and design solutions using a Bee-Bot® programmable floor robot. Solve mazes, produce art, and retell stories using coding, programming, and engineering. These activities are designed to challenge students’ observational and analytical skills while working toward a common goal in an inclusive, creative, and fun environment.
There’s a wild and wonderful world right outside your window, waiting to be discovered. Dive deeply into understanding how plants depend on animals and their environments to survive. Work with your friends to build a model to determine how animals help disperse seeds. Put your designs to the test through our brand new animal obstacle course and take home seeds you can plant in your yard or local park!
Become a professional bubble-ologist! Create your own unique bubble solution and engineer bubble wands of different shapes, sizes, and materials. How do you think this will change how your bubble looks or behaves? Bubble-ologists will apply what they learned to create a bubble show performed for their friends!

Explore the animal kingdom with the Da Vinci Science Center! Students uncover the shared patterns and processes of animal growth and development that lead to the great diversity and variability of life on earth. Robotics, engineering challenges, and opportunities for creativity add to the fun as participants become expert natural historians in this collaborative 6-week series.
Can you hear me now? Get ready to become the sound engineer for a new and upcoming artist, YOU! Figure out how sound works through a series of hands-on experiments. Build instruments and amphitheaters to amplify your music. Head to the recording studio to combine your knowledge and creativity to put on the best show ever!

Real tools. Real parts. Real technicians and engineers. Learn what’s so cool about making things and how things are made in the USA. Train to become a technician assembling electrical parts and become an engineer designing an assembly line. Learn the role of teamwork, communication, and creativity in manufacturing careers and work together to make a fun final product.
Inspire out-of-this world creativity while you use the artistic lens of photography to figure out how eclipses work. Develop a model of the solar system while you answer questions like, “What are eclipses, why do they happen, and how can I see one?” Prepare to celebrate and capture these awe-inspiring, life-changing events happening in your neighborhood in 2023 and 2024!
Got problems? Take a bite out of ’em! Combining innovation, curiosity, and creativity, we’ll dive into invention and get our heads swimming with ideas. Turn your idea into a fin-tastic prototype to test and refine. Then be prepared to pitch your prototype to your friends! After hearing the pitches, your friends will have the chance to ‘invest’ in the most delicious inventions. Jump into our business tank and swim with the sharks…if you dare!
Experience Da Vinci-style curiosity as we create beautiful, interactive, moving masterpieces using Hummingbird Bit Kits! Bring your sculptures to life by combining your knowledge of block coding and robotics with creativity and artistic expression. Learn about other kinetic art and the engineering-artists who created them. Impress yourself and your friends with your final creation!
