After School STEM

Every Monday 4-5pm (Except September 30 for Orange Shirt Day) 

Unwind after school with us. Each week is something different! Activities involving Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are ready for you! 

9/23/24: Roller Coaster Challenge 

The library is seeking young engineers to take on a new project with more twists, turns and fun than they’ve ever faced before! We need sharp minds to tackle this very important job: The library is building a roller coaster.  

10/7/24: Will it Slime? 

Using all the ingredients that we know can make slime, participants will learn how and why different materials work together to create different types of slime. The science of slime recipes will be put to the test as we experiment with what happens when different ingredients interact.   

10/14/24: Sink or Float? 

Using knowledge of buoyancy, join us to build boats made to withstand the rocky waters of the sea, or at least a bathtub. A few sheets of paper, aluminum foil, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, and straws will be some of the handy materials we can use to create unsinkable ships.   

10/21/24: Boat Race Science 

Using knowledge of lift and aerodynamics, join us to experiment with creating efficient boats that will compete in timed races. An assortment of materials will be available such as: tape, scissors, straws, popsicle sticks, and different weights of paper for making masts and sails. The races will be conducted with straws to blow the boats across their maiden voyage. 

10/28/24: Rigamajig 

Rigamajig Basic Builder is a large-scale building kit that sparks STEM/STEAM learning through collaborative and open-ended play. Join us to see what you can build today!
