PROGRAM TOPICS
Imagine, Build, PLAY!
Students will learn about the engineering design process, see experiments related to flight, and then design and build a flying contraption to test in air blowers and take home to play with! Requires access to an outlet.
Fish Printing
Students will learn about the Japanese art of Gyotaku, known as Fish Printing, and make a beautiful fish print on a piece of fabric to take home. Requires access to a sink for clean up.
Amazing Animal Builders
Students will learn all about nature’s best engineers! A museum educator will lead children in a hands-on presentation with a focus on the river ecosystem, and the way animals fit into their niche within it. Children will explore four activity stations and guess which animal or type of animal built the model structure. The program will wrap up with every participant building their own mini osprey nest platform that will actually hold weight! Children will have a chance to test and redesign their creations.
