Intro to Coding

Step into the world of coding. Learn what the binary code is with hands-on activities..

Slime (1st+)

Be a material chemist and discover the differences between liquids and solids-then watch science in action as we turn a liquid into a solid by making ooey-gooey slime.

Owl Pellets (grade 2nd+)

Discover what owls eat and how their digestive system works by dissecting real owl pellets and uncovering their hidden treasures

Binary Coding Bracelets

Step into the world of coding! Use the binary code in a hands-on activity making a bracelet that spells out the word STEM!

Owl Pellets (grade 2nd+)

Discover what owls eat and how their digestive system works by dissecting real owl pellets and uncovering their hidden

Dino Boxes

Step into the boots of a real Palenontologist. We’ll discover what they do, then grab our tools and we unearth our own fossils as we learn more about these omnivore, herbivore & carnivore dinosaurs.

Volcanoes

Learn about the parts of a volcano, then build your very own erupting volcano and watch the awesome power of chemical reactions in action.

Crawfish (3rd+)

Sculpt and discuss the anatomy of a crawfish. Learn why the crawfish industry is so important to Louisiana!

Stethoscope

Discover the amazing work your heart does every day! Build your own stethoscope, try them out, and hear the incredible beat that keeps us going.

Explore Medicinal Chemistry (3rd+)

Recreate a chemical reaction from scratch by exploring different ingredients and their reactions

Layers of the Earth

Create your own Earth out of Play-Doh, layer by colorful layer! Then slice it open to see the layers that make up our Earth.

Explore Forensic Chemistry (3rd+)

Explore the concept of chromatography. We will work in teams to solve a crime by processing evidence.

Explore Water Chemistry (3rd+)

See what it takes to be a water chemist! Engineer a water filter, filter the water and test the pH levels to see what we need to do to make it drinkable. .

Ice Fishing

Investigate properties of ice and water, practice problem solving and create strategies for using simple tools to “catch” fish.

Engineer a splint (2nd+)

Learn to think like an EMT and quickly build a splint to help an injured arm. Then, become a radiologist and examine x-rays to identify and discover what happened to the bones!

Dental Health (month of Feb only) 1st+

Be a Dentist and learn how to count teeth, take care of them and fix cavities!.

Solar Panel

Build and test your own working solar panel while learning how sunlight can be transformed into electricity.

Engineer a Nightlight (1st+)

Solve a real-life problem while using transparent, translucent and opaque materials to design a nightlight with different functions.

Dash Bots (2nd+)

We will learn about foundational coding through sequencing, conditionals and variables while using math concepts and collaboration .

Color Mixing

Explore how primary colors combine to create secondary colors, then make predictions and experiment to discover tertiary colors! Students will use observation, prediction, and hands-on investigation to explore the science of color mixing.

Edison Bots (4th+)

We will learn about robotics with engineering and design concepts to create an autonomous and functional bot. Minimum of 45 minutes *can be a multi-session courses*

Earth Balloon

Review planets, landforms and other cool facts about our Earth - and go inside too!

Engineer an Igloo

Design and build your own igloos through exploration of structures, balance and engineering practices such as the physics of the dome.

Custom Options!

Just ask! We can custom create programming designed to support your lessons
