Healthy Bodies
How do we keep our bodies strong and healthy? Learners will explore the systems of the human body and discover the science behind staying well through hands-on activities that promote wellness and self-care.
Space Science
Science is out of this world! Learners will apply their investigative skills and think like astronomers to understand space objects.
STEMobile Makerspace: Plan, Make, Test, Improve!
Build, design and problem-solve! These STEAM-powered experiences challenge learners to tackle real-world problems using the engineering design process in fun, hands-on ways.
Makerspace Themes:
It’s Electric
Spark curiosity with the science of circuits! Learners will explore the flow of electricity, tinker with simple electronics and engage in hands-on STEAM challenges that power up
their understanding of how modern technology works—blending science, engineering, art and design in electrifying ways.
Forces in Flight
How do we soar through the air? Learners will explore the science of forces and motion as they design and test flying creations that take to the skies.
Urban Engineers
What does it take to design a city that thrives in Florida? Engineers must consider weather-related challenges like hurricanes, tornadoes and flooding. Learners will become city planners and community leaders as they consider how to build resilient and thriving communities that function within our unique South Florida environment.
Get ready to blast off on an out-of-this-world adventure! The GeoDome Planetarium transports learners to the far reaches of the universe with a dazzling 360-degree immersive experience.
