Ages: 5-10
This week we will be learning about the tools that humans across time have used in order to learn about space. What machines have we created to explore our universe? STEM activity: Pick a celestial body to explore and design a space probe for it. What features does it have? Is it big? Is it small?
Materials Provided: Paper, glue, scissors, recycled materials, cardboard
Accessibility
- We are a 5-minute walk off the Nassau G stop. Our building entry, elevator, and bathroom are all ADA compliant.
- For this workshop we will be in Eco Lab 1, this room is brightly lit from a variety of fixtures and natural lighting. Temperature varies.
- Being a public space there is often overlapping noise within the building. This workshop is geared towards kids which might include varying levels of sound depending on excitement or interest of group. To reduce sensory input feel free to bring your own ear plugs or ask us if you’d like to borrow a sound filtering device.
- Grown-ups are encouraged to stay in the space to provide additional support to their child. This may include help with motor skills or emotional support.
