Today’s workshop venue was nothing short of amazing! While hosting our STEM enrichment session, we had the opportunity to learn how to count in Hebrew and gain insight into the beautiful Jewish traditions. ✨

One of the best parts about bringing science workshops to schools and organizations that celebrate different cultures and nationalities is that the learning goes both ways. We love creating hands-on experiences while also experiencing and appreciating the communities we serve. 🌎🔬

May is all about engineering, creativity, and problem-solving at our Mobile Interactive Science Studio!

This month, students step into the role of engineers as they design, test, and improve solutions to hands-on challenges. Through trial, error, and teamwork, kids learn that mistakes are part of the learning process—and that big ideas start small.

🛠️ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐈𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
Through guided engineering challenges, students are:
- Identifying real-world problems
- Designing and testing solutions
- Improving designs based on results

All activities are hands-on, age-appropriate, and aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

🔬 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧, 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝, 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞
Students work in teams to build a structure or solution using provided materials, test its effectiveness, and redesign it to make improvements. This process builds confidence and resilience while encouraging creativity.
