Slime Science Lab
Kids create their own slime by mixing simple ingredients. They explore states of matter and polymers, then take slime home in a sealed bag.

Balloon Rocket Races
Kids build balloon rockets that zoom across a string line. They test and predict speed as they learn about action and reaction forces.

Paper Airplane Aerodynamics
Kids fold, decorate, and fly paper airplanes in a launch lane. They experiment with lift, drag, thrust, and redesign to improve flight.

Ice Cream in a Bag Science Station
Kids shake ingredients in ziplock bags to make ice cream. They learn how salt lowers the freezing point and turns a liquid into a frozen treat.

STEM Story Corner
A cozy read-aloud area with STEM-themed picture books. Kids can listen, browse, and talk about inventors, science, and creation.

Creative Build and Design Lounge
A relaxed maker space where kids invent creatures or robots using shapes, then decorate with stickers and stamps. Open-ended and designed for lingering, tinkering, and social creativity.

Hot Chocolate and Cookie Decoration Table
Families warm up with cocoa while kids decorate cookies. A hospitality station that keeps the event welcoming and festive.
