Full List of Offered Programs
Adventurous Architects
Explore the science of physics, engineering and architecture. Students will plan, build and test structures as they participate in a variety of engineering challenges using ROK blocks.
Body Works
Explore the “ins and outs” of the body's many systems as they work together to help us do everything from basic everyday functions to some amazing feats!
Chemistry Concepts
Take an intimate look at the indicators of a chemical change in this inquiry-based investigation of the properties of matter.
Daylight in a Bottle
Students will experiment with radiant energy and the concept of refraction to develop a lighting system made out of recycled materials.
Electric Avenue
Use an inquiry-based approach to understand the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Shocking experiments illuminate this challenging subject.
Energy Explorers
What is energy? Students investigate several different forms of energy, including light, sound, electrical, chemical, and thermal energy.
Engineering by Design
Students will work in groups as they experience what it is like to be an engineer. They will plan, build, and test solutions to a unique challenge as they explore the scientific method and engineering process.
Fantastic Forces
This hands-on program introduces students to friction, forces, and the laws of motion. After experimenting with parachutes, students design and build roller coasters to investigate the fundamental laws of physics.
Forces in Action
Have fun with physics in this fast-paced workshop. Using roller coasters and parachutes, students explore motion, unbalanced forces, friction, velocity, and more.
Forensic Detectives
In this “mysterious” program, students use chemistry, physics and observation skills to piece together evidence and crack the case. They learn how to classify mysterious powders, calculate the pH of soils, and perform chromatography to separate pigments.
