Engineering a Bionic Hand

Ever stopped to think about how incredible your own hand is? The way it moves, grasps, and helps you do countless tasks is truly amazing! But how do engineers design an artificial hand that can mimic those complex movements? Explore the fascinating world of bionics, where science meets engineering to create incredible solutions.

Solar Print Science

Did you know there’s an invisible kind of sunlight that can also leave a “shadow”? Get ready to uncover the hidden power of UV light and create amazing art using nothing but the sun! You’ll use special sun-sensitive paper to capture unique “shadows” from everyday objects, revealing a fascinating secret about what sunlight is really made of.

Coding with cards

Did you know you can “code” without a computer? In this fun activity, you’ll learn to write an “algorithm” – a set of step-by-step instructions – that uses “conditional statements” to create your very own card game. Think of it like teaching a computer to make decisions: “If this happens, then do that!” 

Flying High with the Bernoulli Effect

Ever looked up at a giant airplane soaring through the sky and wondered how it defies gravity? Get ready to explore the amazing science of flight! You’ll unravel the mysteries of lift and gravity and understand just what it takes to get an airplane off the ground!

Happy Pi Day!

Did you know there’s a magical number that connects the distance around any circle to the distance across it? For thousands of years, people have been fascinated by this relationship, even when trying to measure things as huge as planets. Get ready to celebrate Pi Day by becoming a math detective!

Rotor Quest: Build, Fly, Explore

Ever wonder how helicopters zoom through the sky? Now, you get to be the aerospace engineer! Get ready to build your very own mini-helicopter and explore the science of flight, from spinning rotors to the amazing power of air pressure that creates lift. Put on your safety glasses, head outside, and let’s take flight!

Recycled Bird Feeder

Ready to get a little messy while doing some good for the planet and the birds? This activity turns something you might normally toss in the recycling bin – like a cardboard tube – into a delightful bird feeder. It’s a fantastic way to observe nature up close and learn how different birds have unique features that help them thrive!

Backyard Biodiversity

Imagine an ecosystem bursting with life – that’s the power of biodiversity! The more diverse, the stronger and healthier it becomes. But what happens when variety disappears? Find out why biodiversity is crucial for our planet and how you can act like a scientist to analyze the richness of life in your own backyard!
