Students design and build electrical circuits, using them to power traffic lights or flashlights. Through hands-on experimentation, students follow directions to create open, closed, series and parallel circuits then describe how circuits work. 

"Electrical Circuits - Traffic Lights" - Stem Saturday

Students learn the principles of Force and Motion, including Newton's Laws of Motion, Drag, and Friction. Students design, build and test their own cars that they race in a competition! It is a thrilling, hands-on learning experience.

Students will discover the mechanics of sound and be able to describe wavelengths, amplitudes, and pitch. Students will design, build, and test their own xylophone to demonstrate different pitch tones as it relates to size and depth of an instrument.

"The Physics of Sound - Xylophone " - Stem Saturday.

First Things First After School Enrichment Program.

Students work on projects to learn the fundamentals of hydraulics and pressure as it relates to usage of everyday simple machines. Students then build their own hydraulic bridge or elevator.

"Hydraulics and Simple Machines" - Stem Saturday.

Students perform experiments, separate mixtures and observe reactions, including electrochemical ones. With these projects, they build a strong foundation in chemistry while gaining exposure to a broad range of chemical phenomena and hands-on lab experience.

"Chemistry and Nanoscience" - Stem Saturday.

Students work on projects that teach the principles of simple circuits, electricity and wind energy. Students build circuits powered by wind energy. They learn to describe how circuits work and follow instructions to create a variety of circuits. Students will design, build, test and evaluate their own windmill and turbine.

"The Power of Wind: Renewable Wind Energy" - Stem Saturday.

Students dissect a pig or sheep lung and examine its properties by relating them to the respiratory system. Through dissecting a lung, students explore lung vulnerabilities that may impact their communities. This could propel them towards career opportunities in healthcare in the 21st Century!
