Sponsored by The Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation
​Our STEAM-powered Forest, showcasing Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math, includes several interactive experiences.
The Water Lab
Sponsored by JTMF Foundation
Splash! Changing the water currents and routes is a fun way for children and their grown-ups to explore STEAM.
What they're doing | What they're learning | Learning Skill |
---|---|---|
Moving blue slides | Learning about water flow; cause and effect | |
Floating objects in water | Learning about speed and direction of movement | |
Moving hands through water | How to calm their body through sensory input |
The Wind Lab
Sponsored by Medford Women's Clinic
Swoosh! The Windlab is a fast-paced way for children to learn STEAM by changing air flows and watching toys zoom through the tubes.
What they're doing | What they're learning | Learning Skill |
---|---|---|
Turning knobs to control pathways | Predicting pathways in the Wind Lab | |
Catching scarves | Jumping, catching and hand eye coordination | |
Inserting scarves and turning knobs | Working together to complete a task |
Ball Wall
The Ball Wall encourages children to explore STEAM concepts, develop fine motor skills, and problem-solve collaboratively as they create unique ball courses using tubes and channels.
What they're doing | What they're learning | Learning Skill |
---|---|---|
Creating routes with tubes | Learning cause and effect by changing the ball course | |
Problem solving incomplete routes | Learning trial and error | |
Working together with peers | Sharing materials and problem solving together |
Light Lab
Exploring the Light Lab gives children and their adults a fun way to learn about STEAM by interacting with light in different ways.
