Science Kits/ Topics Offered
AKA Science offers a range of 8 unique science topics that rotate on a 4-year cycle.
Biology Kit
Wake up to the call of the wild! Hitch a ride like a seed pod, dissect an owl pellet, and make yeast eat and breathe! Pollinate like a bee, eat like a frog, and buzz like an insect. From shark teeth to camel feet, from blubber to camouflage, living things are full of surprising adaptations that defy all odds! Join us on a quest to discover the amazing circle of life!
Hop on the design train as we engineer a bridge made out of popsicle sticks, build a tower that defies all odds, make a Ferris wheel spin, and construct a mechanical hand! You'll be racing DIY cars, learning life-saving knots, and designing for an earthquake. Join us as we use ordinary materials in genius ways, and discover how engineering turns ideas into reality!
Earth Science Kit
Let’s get ready to rumble! Shake things up and watch the earth dance before your eyes! Catch the wind, create a mini tornado, and witness the power of plate tectonics. Discover hidden rockformations, pull pigment from stone, and make a volcano erupt!
Want to get a reaction? Come join us as we explore the magical world of chemistry! Transform regular liquids into a bubbling lava lamp and make a container burst into the air! Whip up some instant snow, create fantastic flubber, and experiment with awesome acids and bases! You'll be amazed as we reveal solar reactions, get fizzy with elephant toothpaste, and uncover what makes chemistry so cool!
Calling all super sleuths! Help us catch mischievous critters as we dust for fingerprints, hunt for animal tracks, sniff out fakes, and explore the world of DNA and blood types. We will decipher mysterious messages, dig for clues, inspect forgeries, and work together to uncover the truth. These rascally creatures won’t stand a chance against our junior detectives as you spot puzzling patterns and use your investigative skills to solve curious cases and mystifying mysteries!
Physics Kit
Catapults, kaleidoscopes, and magnets- oh my! Power up for fun as you explore the world of forces, motion, color, and light! Bread light into rainbows, build a drag racer, and sink a diver in a bottle. Create your own sunset, uncover the secrets of 3D, craft snow goggles, and design a marble speed track! Join us as we discover forces, motion, and colorful phenomena on this fun physics adventure!
Help save the world with science! Test water for pollution, learn the secrets of soil, watch a seed grow, and become a backyard wildlife expert. We'll turn trash into treasure, build solutions for drought, clean up an oil spill, and harness the sun's energy. Learn about the web of life while innovating real solutions to the problems our planet is facing!
Get ready to code, create, and uncover the world of technology! You'll build circuits, design wearable tech, and dive into the mysteries of artificial intelligence. From buzzing electronics to decoding your favorite gadgets, this is tech you can touch! Explore the power of math in surprising ways and see how it connects to everything you do. Learn to think like a coder, spot digital misinformation, and become a tech-savvy problem solver. No experience needed- just curiosity and a sense of adventure. Science just got smarter (and way more fun!) Join us to unlock the secrets of technology!
