STEM Storytime - Solar Eclipse Phases Fold-Up

Get excited for the total solar eclipse!

Astronomy & Space Science

Make a pinhole camera

Volunteer Activity - Alternative Science Facts

3D Printed Animal Tracks

Participants learn how to identify animals that may live in their environment using “signs”. Then, they will learn how photogrammetry can be used to scan and make digital models out of animal tracks found in nature so that they can be 3D printed.

Information Technology

Secret Handshake

Learners develop computational thinking skills through creating a secret handshake.

Information Technology

Marshmallow Tower

Learners develop algorithmic thinking by designing and building a freestanding structure that can support an object, using toothpicks and marshmallows

Information Technology

Can You Program a Human Robot?

Learners create simple commands to help guide a human "robot" to retrieve an item in the room.

Information Technology

Can You Guess This Number?

Learners try to guess their partner’s number by asking the least number of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions.

Information Technology

Can You Debug This Code?

Learners develop debugging and critical thinking skills by fixing a code to help get a rocket ship to the moon

Mathematics

Can You Debug These Math Problems?

Learners are presented with six solved mathematical problems and must work to debug these problems to determine which are solved correctly and which are not.

Information Technology

Code and Go Mice

Welcome to the science of computational thinking! In this workshop, students learn how to code using a Code and Go Robot Mouse which can be programmed with travel directions to navigate through mazes.

Information Technology

Code and Go Mice - Community Event

The goal of this activity is for students to program a mouse to get from the starting position to the cheese wedges without going on squares occupied by cats or mouse traps.

Health Sciences

The Kinesiology Kit (Move it! and Skeleton Science)

This workshop focuses on two main topics within the field of Kinesiology: exercise and the Skeletal System.

Earth & Environmental Sciences

Fish Population Game

How can we make sure that we will always have fish in our rivers, lakes, streams and ponds? In this game, participants learn about some of the factors that affect their local fish populations and solutions to help stabilize the populations.

Earth & Environmental Sciences

Let's Talk Garbage Pollution

In this workshop, participants will learn about the effect that landfills have on the environment and how landfills contribute to climate change.
