Curriculum

Spin It to Win It: The Science of Electric Motors

Students explore the physics behind electric motors — magnetic fields, electric current, and rotational force — by building and testing their own working motors.

Design Your Dream Home: From Idea to Model

Explore how architects turn ideas into reality by transforming 2D sketches into 3D paper models, learning key concepts in design and 3D visualization along the way. Then bring your creation to life by assembling your home and adding an LED light inside, creating a glowing, personalized space of your dreams.

Now You See Me, Now You Don’t

In this hands-on chemistry experiment, students will watch a colorless liquid suddenly turn dark blue — then figure out exactly why it stopped. By changing the amounts of each ingredient, students will discover the concept of limiting reagents: the idea that in any reaction, one ingredient always runs out first and controls everything.

Turn it On! Bringing Electronics to Life

Dive into the world of electronics to learn how to design and build simple circuits. Starting with lighting an LED, students will discover how current flows, how components like wires, resistors, and motors interact, and how electricity moves safely through a system. As the session progresses, students will experiment with Arduino boards, gaining insight into how hardware and code work together in real-world technology.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

What determines the color of a baby goldfish? Students will explore how traits are inherited across generations, using simple probability and Punnett squares to predict outcomes. Along the way, they’ll discover how a predator’s appetite can quietly shift what a population looks like over time.
