When & Where:
Building Robots
Join us for a high-energy session where you'll design and program a robot car to conquer an obstacle course! Explore mechanical design, circuit building, and coding—all in one exciting experience. We will assemble a robot (Mechanical Engineering) discover the electronic components and how to put together components to build a circuit (Electrical Engineering) and look at some basic code to program the wireless robot (Programming) we built. No experience needed - just curiosity and creativity!
Money IQ
New This Year! Our new financial literacy workshop will help you to learn the skills to build your financial future. More information coming soon!
Genetics of a Strawberry
Genetic testing such as 23andMe has made the previously complex world of DNA accessible and functional. This workshop will explore the basic structure and function of DNA through strawberries; and participants will get to see the effect gene inheritance plays in their own lives with an interactive lab. We hope to challenge your ideas about science and who can be a scientist.
Escape Room: Code Breaking
The Cryptograph Escape Room, designed for high school students, is an interactive and educational activity that combines puzzle-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking. Centered around the theme "The American Women who Secretly Broke Codes in World War II," participants must solve cryptographic puzzles and riddles to unlock the code and escape within a set time limit. This hands-on experience promotes collaboration and analytical skills while introducing students to foundational concepts in cryptography and coding, preparing them for future academic or career pursuits in STEM fields.
