- $150 per workshop.
- Group Workshops run approximately 40 minutes.
Group Workshops fall into four subject areas:
Grades K–2
Intro to Chemistry
Discover the practice of chemistry, including chemical and physical reactions, protective equipment, and laboratory tools.
Grades K–2
Intro to Chips & Circuits
Begin the journey to digital literacy, exploring concepts from basic programming to how chips and circuits work inside everyday devices.
Grades K–2
Exploring Plants
Dig into the parts of plant and explore what plants need to survive in this hands-on learning lab.
Grades K–2
Push & Pull
Explore the effects of different pushes and pulls through large-scale experiments with blocks and toys, guided by a MOST educator.
Grades K–2
Predict & Prepare
Explore how meteorologists observe patterns to predict weather, and why making weather predictions is important.
Grades K–2
Secrets in the Soil
Investigate our planet’s past through fossil, rock, and artifact analysis as we dig into geology, paleontology, and more.
Grades 3–5
Collision Lab
Experience collision through large-scale demonstrations that showcase concepts like momentum, types of energy, and energy transfer.
Grades 3–5
Explosion Explorers
Explore chemical and physical reactions, pH, density, and more in this hands-on lab session.
