SEPTEMBER 16: SPACE & PLANETS 🪐 Take a little trip to outer space in this glow-in-the-dark class as we learn about rockets, planets, stars and more! Launch squeeze rockets, melt icy comets, watch pennies disappear inside a “black hole,” search for meteorites, and make your own planet project to take home. STEM Club participants will also navigate a space obstacle course, build outer space habitats and construct alien small worlds!

SEPTEMBER 23: FALL HARVEST 🍎 Learn about the fall equinox and bring in the harvest as we learn about what makes autumn special! Pick velcro apples off trees, pack gourds into baskets, pluck seeds from sunflowers and wash dirt off veggies, then experiment with patterns to make your own beaded fall corn. STEM Club participants will also experiment with rolling apples down ramps, making fall patterns, acorn and pinecone loose parts, and playing hide and seek with harvest veggies!

SEPTEMBER 30: CONSTRUCTION 🚧 Learn about building and demolition as we build walls with cardboard bricks and knock them down with an inflatable wrecking ball, drive trucks through a dirt sensory bin, practice tools skills and work with pulleys. Mini Makers will use hammers and paint to make construction site process art to take home! STEM Club participants will also experiment with measuring tapes, Lincoln Logs, and construction site loose parts.

OCTOBER 7: POTIONS 🧪 Learn about chemical reactions as we mix and pour all kinds of kid-safe potions. Experiment with changing colors, dissolving materials, bubbles, and baking soda and vinegar and then make your own potion sensory bottle to take home! We will also play around with building molecular models, catch & pop bubbles from a bubble machine, and play around with potion loose parts!

OCTOBER 14: ROBOTS 🤖 Play and experiment with all sorts of kid-friendly robots as we learn basic coding techniques! Draw pictures with a scribble bot, build a maze for hexbugs, assemble robots with building sets, sprinkle crumbs for a robot vacuum to suck up and play with all of our play space robots! We will pretend to be robots and practice giving each other commands to move through a grid. Think outside the box and make your own jointed cardboard robot to take home!

OCTOBER 21: PUMPKINS 🎃 Compare and contrast real pumpkins and practice math skills as we weigh and measure, use geometric shapes to make pumpkin faces, hammer golf tees into pumpkins and tickle our fingers through a pumpkin patch sensory bin. Use paper punches to create your own pumpkin shadow puppets! Get busy in our play space moving pumpkins on our conveyor belt and playing with pumpkin & fall loose parts.

OCTOBER 28: SPOOKY STEM 👻 Celebrate Halloween with a little STEM fun as we experiment with fizzing ghosts, assemble skeletons, weave spider webs and mix up some spooky brews! We will also build monster faces with loose parts, climb through a giant spider web, and make cool wax resist “ghost” art.
