Scout Workshops

Lots of people have great ideas: flying to the moon, tunneling under rivers, building robots that walk and talk, or making triple-loop rollercoasters. Engineers turn those ideas into reality. They use science, math and creative thinking to improve people's lives.

Everywhere you go, you leave behind clues: fingerprints on your juice glass, DNA on your toothbrush, bits of fabric on your favorite chair, and footprints in your yard. Criminals leave behind clues, too. 

Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue or how gravity works or what makes a rainbow? Scientists wonder about those things too.

Rocks and minerals are more than just things that lie in the ground. Yes, they help form our planet, but people also use them to create things that make our lives easier. 

It's time to take flight! Do you know the secret to making a paper airplane fly longer or farther? In this adventure, you'll have fund making different types of airplanes and other flying objects.

In this adventure, you'll get to explore how to keep your body healthy. Why is it important to wash your hands? why is the slimy mucus in your nose (yep, snot) important to your health?

Find out how a career with STEM will help you shape the world for the better.

Find ways that you can use science every day! Experience cool science activities and investigations you can do with materials found at home. 

Think and design like a mechanical engineer by creating a race car and exploring the science of flight. 

Build a prototype of a new kind of robot that could help someone to overcome a daily obstacle. Decide on a challenge, brainstorm solutions, plan, build a prototype, and test it to see how well it meets the challenge.
