Binary Bracelets

Binary is a special language built on just two choices—like on/off, yes/no, or the famous 1s and 0s. Even though it seems simple, computers use these two options to store information, send messages, and solve problems at lightning speed.

In this kit, kids will discover how binary works, why the prefix “bi” means two (just like in bicycle, bipedal, and binoculars), and how those two little digits can be combined to represent letters, pictures, and more.

It’s a fun, hands-on way to see that computer science isn’t magic—it’s patterns, logic, and a whole lot of creativity. Happy coding!

Build A Bridge Challenge

Did you know there are more than 120 feet of suspension bridges at Tulsa’s Gathering Place? Bridges are everywhere — connecting roads, rivers, and people! From towering suspension bridges to sturdy beam bridges, each one is carefully designed to balance strength, shape, and stability.

Now it’s your turn to engineer a bridge that can hold your favorite toy or stuffed animal over a 1-foot gap! Get ready to build, test, and connect through STEM!

Alka-Seltzer Rockets

Did you know rockets have been around for thousands of years? The ancient Chinese used rocket-powered arrows, and even the U.S. National Anthem mentions “the rocket’s red glare”! But it was a scientist named Sir Isaac Newton who helped us understand how rockets actually work — when something pushes out (like gas), the rocket pushes up!

Design a Hand Pollinator

Did you know that bees use static electricity to aid in pollination? Their tiny hairs become charged as they fly, allowing them to collect and transfer pollen between flowers—and even detect the electric fields of flowers. In this month’s STEM in a Bag kit, you’ll design a hand pollinator and explore how humans can replicate this process by imagining, building, and testing your own creation using the Engineering Design Process.
