Make it and Take it Home 
Ages 6-11
In this hands-on, fun, and exciting program, you will discover how amazing science is. You will make and take home a wide assortment of toys designed to teach you science concepts in a hands-on way.  Grow and take home a crystal tree.  Make an energy bead bracelet and watch as those amazing beads turn from white to a rainbow of colors before your eyes. Build a working electric motor. Make your own sharpie pen T-shirt and learn some cool chemistry (student supplies a 100% cotton T-shirt). Make your own bubbling blobs and explore the properties of a density tube.  Make silly putty—glowing goo—green flubber and other cool projects. By the way...we will make ice cream in our own amazing, different, Sciensational way!

Prospectors Mystery Rock
Ages 6-11
You are going to be a Prospector (you know those people who were always looking for gold).  In this workshop you will get to excavate for valuable gems, fascinating rocks, and some ancient fossils.  All are yours to keep.  What hidden wonders will you find?  The identities of the 10 specimens found in your Mystery Rock have been kept a secret from you.  You will experience the thrill of discovery, much as prospectors did.  You will be able to identify each one.  Your specimens are in a hard clay material the same as prospectors found.  You will have to get them out without breaking or scratching them.  That’s not that easy.  You will get an excavation tool, specimen brush, log book, sorting trays and labels.  You will, as a Prospector, record the color, both wet and dry texture, and its ability to float for each of the 10 specimens you dig out.  Make an educated guess with our help to whether each one is a rock, gem, or fossil.  See how good you are.  You will learn from us the exact name and classification.  We give you hands-on science...Prospectors style - fun - educational - exciting!

Follow Me Robot
Ages 7-12 
How would you like to build a robot that has four built-in microphones? It will detect the sound source and in turn it will move and turn accordingly.  It is your own robot to build and take home.  Wow!  It starts flashing and plays Do-Re-Me.  Make it move the way you want it to move.  It is so smart.  It will move in its own routine if it does not get a signal in 1 minute.  It will go to sleep if you do not issue any commands in 90 seconds.  However, you can wake it up.  Learn about the different gears and sensors as you build it.  Get to build other robots working in groups.  Join in our Sumo wrestling and obstacle course events with what you have built.  See everything happening as you build.  That's the Sciensational way!

Brick Building With Lights and Sound
Ages 7-12 
 How about becoming an architect and electronics scientist.  Combine everything into one.  Make endless combinations of brick construction and electronics.  Invent anything and make it work all by doing it the Sciensational Way!!  How about building your own light post with color effects.  Build and design your own brick tower, light it up, play music, and turn on your LED'S.  Build your own brick bridge with melody and sound.  Construct a brick mammal, a three level house, and light house.  Put in overhead lights.  Now it is your time to design, think, and use your inventors’ skills.  The sky is the limit!  All of this you take home.  STEAM your way to the future!

Egyptian Dig
Ages 6-11 
Buried Treasure Digs - Children discover the amazing science of Archaeology as they uncover ancient artifacts.  In doing this, we will learn about Egyptian life.  We will excavate with tools like a real archaeologist uses.  We will find the following artifacts as we excavate a scarab (what’s that?), hieroglyphic tablet, ankh symbol and a jackal.  You will learn about this and even take home a booklet.  The artifacts are yours to keep.  We will wet the sand that we dig into and create one of two sand sculptures for display.  You can make a pyramid as well as a sphinx.  Let’s go back in time with a hands on archaeological experience!
