Mad Science, School's Out - Lasers and Optics - AM Only
Mission — “We aim to spark the imagination and curiosity of children everywhere by providing them with fun, entertaining and educational activities that instill a clear understanding of what science is really about and how it affects the world around them.” FULL DAY and HALF DAY OPTIONS!Monday, December 23Lasers and OpticsBecome immersed in the world of lasers, light, and color! Discover how laser light differs from white light as we bend & shine beams of light all around the room and dissect white light with our special specs! Witness a small indoor fireworks display to show how different metals react to heat, and learn about tricks our eyes play on us by experimenting with mirrors and optical illusions!Shocking ScienceShocking fun awaits! Join us while we build simple circuits, make buzzers buzz, test our nerves, tinker with electromagnets, and even see a Van de Graaff generator create indoor lightning!Monday, January 20Creative Chemist - Building with BondsBecome a creative chemist through the investigation of the periodic table and the atoms that make up everything around us! Make chemical connections between different atomic models using bonds to construct molecules. Whether it is long stretchy chains of molecules in the form of silly putty or structured atoms in the form of crystal gardens, find out how chemistry connects the world.Slimy Science and Smokey IceShocking fun awaits! Join us while we build simple circuits, make buzzers buzz, test our nerves, tinker with electromagnets, and even see a Van de Graaff generator create indoor lightning!Friday, February 14RocketryHere is your chance to be a rocket scientist! Investigate the four forces of flight as you race through space learning the basics of rocket travel. Build your own Mad Science rocket to take home. If we have fair skies, we’ll even see the principles of propulsion at work with a real rocket launch!Roving Rovers (NASA: STEM Explorers)Developed in partnership with NASA, we will think and act like NASA innovators during this hands-on program inspired by NASA OPSPARC. After receiving you mission notebook, you will design and build a Mars Rover. Your rover will be tested over various obstacles to ensure it can navigate Mars’ brutal terrain. From mission patches to engineering for space NASA Roving Rovers is out of this world!Monday, February 17LEGO - BRIXology - CarnivalsExplore the science and engineering that lets humans design and build exciting rides at carnivals and amusement parks. Through the engineering design process become mechanical engineers solving problems with creative solutions. Construct a miniature swinging Viking ship ride to take home.LEGO - BRIXology - CreaturesExplore the science and engineering that lets humans invent new things based on solutions found in nature! Through the engineering design process become bioengineers solving problems with biomimicry. Put together a wind-up peacock puzzle that can move to take home!
