Program Description

Event Details

Welcome spring with a science lab focused on flowers. We'll learn about growing conditions, the parts of a flower and how to identify certain ones.  You'll make a planted seed pot and paper replicas of the flowers we learn to identify.  And you'll be challenged to take what you know about ideal growing conditions and build the ideal greenhouse.  

Registration opens March 1 at 8am.

STEAM LAB runs in 5 week sessions, each week focusing on one letter from the acronym STEAM with a particular focus. Each week will feature three project tables relating to the theme: a quick project to introduce you to the topic, a technical challenge relating to the topic and an open-ended invitation to explore materials and the topic.  The projects are designed for students age 10-16.  Please register for each week you wish to attend.  You may come any time in the 4-5:30 window and stay as long as you are interested in the activities.
