Join us at Scio Library for an exciting science event! We'll be learning about chemistry while making slime and elephant toothpaste. Participants will also be surveying their five senses inspecting sensory bins, exploring sounds, and investigating mystery scents.
Suncatchers: Participants will explore scientific concepts related to light, wavelengths, and what color is. They will use this understanding to guide their creativity, while also practicing their mathematical skills in the measurement and design of their suncatcher. All of this will combine in the creation of their suncatcher, helping them to develop skills in several […]

*** MUST SIGN UP THROUGH OPHELIA'S PLACE TO ATTEND*** Visit the Ophelia's website to register - https://www.opheliasplace.net/ Learn more about Ophelia's Place - Albany's July summer camp - https://www.opheliasplace.net/activities-calendar/experimenting-in-nature-camp-albany2024 Mobile Makerspace camps are happening on July 8, 9, and 10 from 1-3 P.M.
Ecosystems / Nature tracks: This ecosystem activity is focused on introducing the idea of how organisms within an area interact, and how everything in the world is connected in some way through the creation and exploration of food webs. Participants will gain experience with ecology and biology, while also developing their observational and critical thinking […]
***MUST SIGN UP THROUGH MONROE ART IN THE PARK*** Participants of the Mobile Makerspace's Art in the Park Event in Monroe will have the opportunity to make binary birthday bracelets and construct hoop gliders. Binary Birthday Bracelets: Through this activity, participants engage in hands-on learning that combines mathematical concepts, technological applications, creative expression, and problem-solving […]
Leather Making: Leather Making, participants will engage in a hands-on project designing and creating their own leather bookmark. We will learn how to use technology and equipment for finishing touches and decorations, and discover how leather is used by indigenous people in sustainable ways. This interdisciplinary approach allows students to apply knowledge from various fields […]

UV light: This take-home self-guided STEAM project involved using UV (Ultraviolet) light to identify fluorescence or phosphorescence in various materials. Students will be given an ultraviolet (UV) light pen tool to explore hands-on scientific phenomena, boosting their curiosity and creativity, and applying them to real-world ideas. Consider alternative employment choices that may need the utilization […]
