Celebrate the season with a day of hands-on STEM fun inspired by fall and Thanksgiving! In this exciting one-day program, students will explore science, technology, engineering, and math through seasonal challenges, autumn-themed experiments, and creative design activities. From investigating pumpkins and leaves to building structures and solving holiday-inspired engineering challenges, participants will discover how STEM connects to the world around them.
Throughout the day, students will think like scientists and engineers as they test, build, create, and explore. Activities may include pumpkin investigations, turkey-themed engineering challenges, fall-themed chemistry experiments, and problem-solving activities that encourage creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking. Participants will learn about nature, seasons, agriculture, and the science behind many of the traditions and foods associated with Thanksgiving.
Designed for curious minds in grades 2-6, this program provides an engaging mix of exploration and discovery while helping students develop STEM skills in a fun, festive environment.
