Description

 

Looking for ways to get your student involved in STEM, but without the multi-day commitment? Well we have the series for you:"STEM à la carte" - a scrumptious selection of STEM sessions! 

Our series is designed to be single day stand-alone STEM themed programs including (but not limited to) biology, chemistry, technology, and engineering! 

STEM à la carteoffers the flexibility to choose from a variety of STEM learning topics and schedule to best meet your needs. Each session operates as a stand‑alone program, fully independent from any other day’s activities.This flexible structure allows you to register for single‑day STEM experiences without committing to a full‑week schedule!

 

À La Carte STEM Topic Options

Science

Biology

  • Explore fine details using EyeClops viewers or microscopes
  • Dissect seeds, plants, and other natural materials
  • Test water quality collected from local streams
  • Plant seeds and learn about photosynthesis and plant growth

Chemistry

  • Create and compare different slime formulations
  • Use baking soda and vinegar to launch rockets or build paper‑mâché volcanoes
  • Experiment with water‑pressure rockets
  • Dissolve eggshells using household safe chemicals to explore chemical reactions

Technology

Sphero Robotics

  • Open exploration time to experiment with Sphero robots
  • Guided lessons using block‑based coding
  • Navigate obstacle courses or mazes using programmed commands
