Star Wars Science
May the force of science be with you!
Unleash your inner scientist by travelling through the Star Wars galaxy.
Stir up some color-changing Jabba’s slime, duel with your hand-made lightsaber, create Anakin’s Mechno-Arm, hover on a land speeder, make a model of a Death Star, and much more.
Covering a range of STEM topics, students will learn about the galaxy we live in, inspired by another one that is far, far away.
Holiday Science
Join us for this holiday-themed, hands-on, super fun science class. Each experiment will relate to a particular holiday of the year.
Learn about force and motion as you make your balloon win the turkey race. Who wants to see a pumpkin throwing up? We do! Mix the best witches’ potion and discover how you can make ghosts float. Grow the Grinch’s heart and learn about chemistry behind the snow globes that bubble. What would Valentine’s Day be without sweets? Perform colorful candy experiments by using skittles and water density. Build a working circuit by creating a bouquet of LED flowers for your Mom’s special day. Engineer an Easter egg launcher and make sure your egg survives an egg drop competition. Ready, set, fire away! Explore fun chemical reactions to celebrate the 4thof July.
So, get in the holiday mood, join the class, and let the festive fun begin!
Invisible Science
Join us in this unique class to bring the invisible science to focus.
Expand your vision by exploring experiments related to light, magnetism, sound-waves, and more. Learn about bacteria and use “glowing germ lotion” to discover where these invisible life forms are hiding on our everyday surfaces. Write and reveal invisible secret messages. Using static electricity and some practice, cause objects to float in midair. Detect ultraviolet light with color and understand the secret behind the chemical reactions of a chameleon’s color-changing ability.

Amazing Anatomy
Discover what makes you tick and how you get sick.
The human body comes in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. Are you curious about what your body looks like under your skin? Do you wonder where your food goes after you eat it?
Did you know that people shed 40,000 skin cells every hour, and that your eye actually sees things upside-down? How does your body fight germs, how snacks become energy, and what causes freckles? Did you know that you are about ½ inch taller in the morning than the evening? That a baby is born with 300 bones, but has only 206 by the time it is an adult?
This educational anatomy class is bursting with all kinds of activities to help you understand how tissues, brain, organs, muscles, and bones work together to help you move, think, and grow.
It is a must class for all future doctors and inquisitive minds.
Aquanauts Academy
Dive deep down with aquanauts to explore extreme places of the deepest trenches in our oceans.
Discover the amazing science and incredible innovations that allow humans (and sometimes only machines) to survive in this harsh environment.
Learn about the most outrageous aspects of the deep blue – from record-breaking depths to towering tsunamis, from underwater giants to tiny sea creatures. Explore the newest and most high-tech ocean gear and other gadgets. Investigate currents, tides, climate, and what is hiding in the darkest parts of the ocean. Take a look at sharks, whales, and other marine species. Find out which sea-dwellers can open jars, who has pink poop, and what happens when marine iguanas sneeze.
This hands-on class is perfect for curious kids and ocean lovers who want to take an in-depth tour of life beneath the waves.
