Presented by the Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation
Discover a world where wonder meets discovery. Our STEAM-powered Forest invites young explorers to dive into Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math through hands-on, interactive play. From navigating water currents to experimenting with air flow, every corner of the forest is designed to spark curiosity and build the foundational skills for tomorrow’s innovators.
Recommended for ages 3-12.
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 Skills |
|---|---|---|
Moving hands through water | Calming their body through sensory input | |
Floating objects in water | Physics of motion | |
Moving blue slides | Flow & cause/effect |
The Wind Lab
Sponsored by Medford Women’s Clinic
Swoosh! The Wind Lab is a fast-paced experience where children learn about airflow by watching toys and scarves zoom through the tubes.
What They're Doing | What They're Learning | Learning Skills |
|---|---|---|
Inserting scarves and turning knobs | Working together to complete a task | |
Catching scarves | Jumping, catching, and hand-eye coordination | |
Turning knobs to control pathways | Predicting pathways in the wind lab |
Ball Wall
The Ball Wall encourages children to explore engineering concepts and fine motor skills. By creating unique courses using tubes and channels, children learn trial and error through collaborative play.
What They're Doing | What They're Learning | Learning Skills |
|---|---|---|
Working together with peers | Sharing materials & problem-solving together | |
Problem-solving incomplete routes | Learning trial & error | |
Creating routes with tubes | Cause and effect by changing the ball course |
Light Lab
Exploring the Light Lab gives children and their adults a fun way to interact with light in different ways, sparking curiosity about optics and color.
