2026 Spring Schedule

January 9, 2026 – Chemistry Playground
Students dive into the building blocks of matter through colorful, bubbly, and hands-on chemistry explorations! They’ll investigate mixtures vs. solutions, experiment with safe chemical reactions, test how temperature affects change, and use observation skills to identify clues that a reaction has occurred. This session helps students understand how chemists study the world at a molecular level.
February 13, 2026 – Earth Explorers
Students become geologists, meteorologists, and environmental scientists for a day as they explore Earth’s systems up close. Activities may include modeling plate tectonics with clay, creating mini weather instruments, observing rock and mineral samples, and testing how erosion reshapes land. Students will learn how scientists study our ever-changing planet. 
April 17, 2026 – Animal Architects
Students discover how animals use engineering in the wild to build homes, protect themselves, and survive. Activities may include designing bird nests, building beaver-inspired dams, seeing our heartwarming documentary, Wild Rescue, in IMAX, and testing which materials make the strongest “animal shelters.” Students will learn how biology and engineering intersect in amazing ways.
