Indoor Urban Farm at The GIANT Room
DESCRIPTION: For kids who dream their own whimsical gardens full of flowers, plants, butterflies, insects, and even robots who take care of the garden! Springtime calls for an exploration of nature and being closer to our planet Earth. Campers uncover the science behind different habitats, and the flora and fauna of far off places as well as just outside our window. They put their wondering to work and grow their own plants and butterflies, build comfy homes for birds, code watering devices, and be inspired by nature to create your own prints and bring voices to creatures of the garden. Through this series they’ll use science, engineering, robotics and arts to ultimately design a garden attraction for everyone to enjoy. Even if your child has joined our Love Your Planet or Nature Science programs, we’ll assure you they’ll engage in yet new activities and discover new possibilities!
Recommended for ages 3- 12
