Science Festivals

Get Excited About Science!

Science Festivals give students the opportunity to be scientists with 12 hands-on activities. Imagination Station comes to your school, day or night, to give students and parents a chance to explore science.

Choose from the UPDATED themes below:

Structures

Grades Pre K - 10

Students will become structural engineers as they explore how science, shapes and math combine to create amazing architecture. Old favorites such as creating earthquake resistant homes, Roman arches and geodesic domes are combined with NEW challenges of creating wind proof towers and bridges out of unusual material.

Forces and Motion

Grades Pre K - 10

Forces, motion, engineering...oh my! Students will explore Newton's Three Laws of Motion and the Engineering Design Process as they experiment with magnets, rockets and creating a machine that will transport a marble.

Energy Festival

Grades Pre K - 10

Students will be electrified as they learn about all types of energy and energy transfer. They will explore circuits, thermal energy, conductors and insulators and potential and kinetic energy. New experiments will also highlight wind power and sound energy!
