Kids’ Activities
In addition there will be several fun activities for kids.
Slime Science Lab
Kids create their own slime by mixing simple ingredients. They explore states of matter and polymers, then take slime home in a sealed bag.
Balloon Rocket Races
Kids build balloon rockets that zoom across a string line. They test and predict speed as they learn about action and reaction forces.
Paper Airplane Aerodynamics
Kids fold, decorate, and fly paper airplanes in a launch lane. They experiment with lift, drag, thrust, and redesign to improve flight.
Ice Cream in a Bag Science Station
Kids shake ingredients in ziplock bags to make ice cream. They learn how salt lowers the freezing point and turns a liquid into a frozen treat.
STEM Story Corner
A cozy read-aloud area with STEM-themed picture books. Kids can listen, browse, and talk about inventors, science, and creation.
Creative Build and Design Lounge
A relaxed maker space where kids invent creatures or robots using shapes, then decorate with stickers and stamps. Open-ended and designed for lingering, tinkering, and social creativity.
Hot Chocolate and Cookie Decoration Table
Families warm up with cocoa while kids decorate cookies. A hospitality station that keeps the event welcoming and festive.
