Bringing science to the community is one of our favorite things! Thank you for joining us during the Maple Street block party as we explored giant bubbles then enjoyed a soda rocket demonstration.

Join neighborhood math educators Amy Hand and Ally Rohrbach for a two-part evening of math exploration that will begin with family math games. While the kids continue their mathematical play, parents will be given an opportunity to discuss fun ways to develop mathematical confidence and competence in their kids.

You can look forward to the following:

Math Game Mania!
Students of all ages are now frequently playing math games at school to help build and reinforce number sense, computational fluency, and estimation skills. Join us as we play several different math games suitable for family game night! While playing, you will learn about the math embedded in each game and how the games build students’ mathematical thinking.



Beyond Arithmetic: Math Talks With Your Kids
Do you want to engage your child in mathematical thinking, but feel like you don’t know how?  Are you trying to encourage your child’s mathematical curiosity, but get stuck trying to think past basic arithmetic questions?  During this conversation, we will:

- Help open your mind to different kinds of math questions that will engage your child.
- ​Provide concrete strategies for asking questions that will build your child’s computational fluency.
- Invite you and your child to see math all around you, so that you feel confident exploring impromptu and informal math talks with your kids.


REGISTER FOR FAMILY MATH NIGHT

It's simple biology, yet there's lots to talk about! Join us for a fun and informative afternoon for girls and their grown-up to discuss and explore menstruation.

This workshop involves the discussion of female anatomical parts using scientifically appropriate language. We'll explore social and biological aspects of periods and learn about the products available to menstruating women. Participants will have opportunity to explore and learn about the history and use of tampons, pads, and more. Goodie bags will be available to daughter-adult duos to continue the discussion and exploration at home.

THIS WORKSHOP IS FULL. CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE WAIT LIST.

Our last book swap was such a success that we're doing it again! Bring your old books (in good condition) and trade them in for a new-to-you read!

We'll have board books, early readers, chapter books, and more!

The goal of the Children's Book Swap is to empower readers and get children excited about books. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, April 30th from 11am to 2pm at the Kiddie Science Lab.
