Science Matters Class Offerings for the 2026-27 School Year
Science Mash-Up: Get ready for a thrilling mix of science, creativity, and mind-blowing discoveries! Each week, we’ll dive into a new world of fun—stretch and squish buttery soft slime, explore the forces of physics (can we defy gravity?), discover the weird world of mysterious microbes, and design a mechanical oscilloscope to project mesmerizing light patterns with your voice. Whether you love to create, experiment, or just be amazed, there’s something exciting waiting for you every week!
Art with a Twist: Join us for an exciting blend of creativity and discovery! In this club, we’ll combine the world of art with the wonders of science. From brushes to circuits to nature, you’ll explore innovative ways to create art. Build your very own spin art machine, experiment with fizzing paint, craft vibrant masterpieces using natural pigments, and trick your brain with unbelievable optical illusions. Whether you’re a budding artist or a future scientist, this club has something for everyone!
Freaky Physics: Get ready to freak out with physics as you examine forces, see how physics and engineering are related as you compete in a tower building challenge, create a circuit to power a cool motorized “bristle-bot”, and explore the marvels of magnetism.
Slime Squad: Welcome to Slime Squad—where the fun never stops, and the slime never dries! Get ready to squish, stretch, and glow with the coolest, gooiest creations around. Sink your hands into the soft, moldable magic of sand slime, watch your masterpieces light up the dark with luminescent slime, and blow epic bubbles with bouncy soft bubble slime (just don’t actually chew it!). Whether you’re here to experiment, create, or just make a glorious mess, our club is the ultimate slime-lover’s paradise.
