No Cause for Alarm

We will explore fire detectors, prevention mechanisms, safe egress (access to exits), compartmentation, and smoke removal. You will create your own electromagnet like the ones used to lock and open electromagnetic fire doors!

Balloon Powered Cars

At this session you will make a model car with some realistic elements: wheels, axles, and a body, but powered by a balloon!

Learning Machines

We will understand how machines can learn from their mistakes, get smarter with each try, and develop a reinforcement learning agent to navigate through a maze!

Seed the Change on Earth Day

In this session, you will make your own seed bombs — nutrient packed balls containing native seeds — that help promote a healthy ecosystem!

Breeding Bees

Let’s explore the vital role that bees play as pollinators in our ecosystem and learn how we can help protect them.

Python for Climate Change

In this session, you will start writing lines of code in Python and work with others to help the environment!

Sustainable Seas

Join us to learn more about these fascinating creatures and use recycled materials to build a model turtle that swims on its own!

Melting Permafrost

In this session, we created our own little permafrost world to explore how permafrost works and what we can do to help slow climate change.

Protect Your Mind

In this session, we used play dough and eggs to model the head and brain and test our own “head” protection designs.

Hormones for Life

In this hands-on session, we used customized dominoes to explore the different types of hormones, their cascading effects, and their impacts on our daily lives.
