All hands on deck! Channel your creativity and engineering skills to build your fastest and float-iest vessel. Test your boat in the pond and don’t be afraid to cast away old designs. Experiment with different shapes and materials to see how they float, sink, capsize, or glide in the water.
This event is free with general museum admission.
Join us each week for new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. These hands-on programs foster creativity, ignite curiosity, encourage divergent thinking, increase problem-solving skills, and offer new ways for kids to explore the world around them.
This event is free with general museum admission.
Mother Nature’s designs might not be couture, but they’ll grow on you! Create your very own bean-and-seed jewelry and learn about the life cycles of plants, from seed to fruit. Bring those beauteous beads home to germinate and watch as they sprout leaves and roots.
This event is free with general museum admission.
Dive into the hidden world of teeny tiny things that thrive in our local waterways. Give your fine motor skills a workout while sampling lake water and get a reeeeeally close look at microorganisms with our microscope. Learn through observation, test your theories, and get your feet wet (metaphorically!) with the scientific method.
This event is free with general museum admission.
Use a splash of paint and faux lake fish to make colorful prints and learn to identify species in our local ecosystems.
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities foster children’s creativity, ignite curiosity, encourage divergent thinking, and increase problem-solving skills as children explore the world around them.

Join us in creating a fleet of cars to be used this spring and summer on our Funkyard Speedway! We will have dozens of blank pinewood derby car bodies to be customized your very own way, then we will use that car to run races all summer long on our brand new Funkyard racetrack. Come and design, draw, sand, hammer, paint, and assemble with us!
Join Jennika for ImagiNation and experiment with projects combing art and science, every Thursday afternoon in Possible-opolis!
Explore chemistry using fun experiments with Michelle every Wednesday afternoon in Possible-opolis.
Join UW Fine Arts Graduate Student Jay Ludden for S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) Engineers!
During this weekly workshop Jay will use many exciting hands-on experiments and demonstrations like 3D Printing, stop-motion animation, electronics, to explore the principles of S.T.E.A.M.
Join Jennika’s ImagiNation and experiment with art and science, every Monday afternoon in Possible-opolis!
