Come explore the science, technology, engineering, and math with several hands-on activities during our Full STEM Ahead WonderWeek kicking off Nov. 9- 11. Learn how to engineer your own planetarium box, determine why the Earth bulges at the equator, learn how your body's digestive system works, and much more!

ON-GOING ACTIVITIES:

• Tree of Life Sculptures: Design a 3-D version of Gustav Klimt’s famous The Tree of Life at Alexander Art Academy.
• Box Planetarium: Engineer your very own planetarium box and explore distant and far away worlds at EcoStation.
• Equatorial Bulge: Determine why the earth bulges at the equator by making a working model of the Earth and its rotation at EcoStation.
• Pinwheel Power: Engineer your own pinwheel and learn about turbines at Junktion. 
• Balancing Popsicle Sticks: Make your own balancing popsicle stick and learn about center of gravity at Junktion. 
• Wood pecking Bird: Create a unique woodpecker and watch as he slides down a rubber band at Junktion. 
• Stacking Cups: Race against the clock and see if you can build the tallest tower possible without causing it to fall over at Math Cart.
• Iron in Cereal: Explore how to test iron in your morning cereal and learn about the important role iron plays in the human body at Power Science Lab.
• Neutralization Reaction: Upset Stomach? Discover how your body's digestive system works at Power Science Lab.
• Cabbage Chemistry: Strap on your lab goggles and find out how to test the liquid in a cabbage for pH levels at Power Science Lab.
• DNA Extraction: Come experiment with us and learn about the building blocks of life and DNA extraction at Power Science Lab.
