Select a grade-level appropriate workshop and your students can design and build a roller coaster, explore the wonderful world of electricity, or learn all about coding and programming. These experiences make the standards come to life for your students.
Students will work collaboratively to define problems and design solutions using a programable 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 towards a common goal.
This workshop, all about sticky slime, is one of our most popular experiences. Students work in teams to compare and measure the properties of our premade slimes before jumping in and creating slimes of their own. Students work in small groups, and the slime is sent back to their classrooms so they can continue experimenting at school.
We invite students to explore the fundamentals of electricity using batteries, wires, buzzers, and lights. By completing design challenges posed by our educator, students will discover the importance of trial and error in the scientific process. The coolest part is that there is never just one solution to any problem, and what you learn may just shock you!
What better way to test the laws of motion, conservation of energy, and many more physical concepts than by building your very own roller coaster? Students work in small groups to design a reliable coaster complete with flips, dips, and thrills.
