STEM Odyssey: This summer, were serving up a perfect mixture of science, fun, and hands-on discovery! Come along on a STEM Odyssey, where kids get a taste of it all: the power of heat, the magic of magnets, the secrets of sound, and the science of our senses. Each day is a new adventure filled with eye-opening experiments and mind-bending activities designed to fuel curiosity and inspire the next generation of innovators.

Brixology: Join us for Brixology, where students will use unique Mad Science designed LEGO kits to build a different engineering-themed project in every session. They will use critical thinking, cooperation, and creative problem solving to test and improve their creations. Each class will revolve around a different engineering theme — including mechanical, structural, and nautical engineering. Brixology sets the foundation for our next generation of makers.

Fizz Boom Bang: Shake up a flask of fun in the lab as a junior chemist! This hands-on and interactive program of chemistry for children ages 6-12 is packed solid with cool reactions. Students put on goggles and change liquid to solid and back again. They get to handle laboratory tools, build and break molecules, and pick up some tricks on chemical changes.

Forces and Flight: Journey with us through the principles of flight and aerodynamics! They build airplanes, hovercrafts and balloon copters, and explore how wind, friction, and gravity are considered in the design of various flying machines!
