DESCRIPTION: For GIANT kids who love to get messy and go mad with science and electronics! During this program, participants will get their hands dirty and experiment with everything from LEDs, motors, and batteries to solar panels, potato batteries, conductive slime and clay, DIY switches, dimmers, pressure, and light sensors. We’ll make things light up, pop open, bubble, sizzle, inflate and so much more!
Kids will be picked up at dismissal time. From 3 to 3:30 they will engage in free play/making time while waiting for all of the participants to arrive.
Recommended for ages 6-10
We provide complimentary pick up from PS 11, PS 33, PS 41, PS 340, Avenues, and Corlears for those who register for the whole semester.
