Invent your own unique slime formula! Our slime scientists investigate, analyze, and create all sorts of crazy concoctions. Learn how to tweak the properties of your slime to make it stretch, stick, bounce, or even glow. Use the scientific method to expand your knowledge of basic chemistry. Then explore the engineering and design process to make never-before-seen slimes!
Young Inventors: Patent LabGrades 5-9, Sundays, 10 a.m.-12 p.m., Jan. 22-March 12, $199
After honing your critical thinking skills in Idea Lab last fall, develop your idea into something worthy of a U.S. patent! Learn basic patent-drafting skills by exploring the process using a mock invention. They apply those lessons to the patent draft of their own idea. The top presentation at the program’s end-of-season showcase will receive pro bono assistance in filing an application for a provisional U.S. patent.
Concepts focused on in this club include patent writing and patent preparation; registration is by invitation of Idea Lab instructors. Registrants must complete the Idea Lab program before enrolling.
