STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math—focused on problem‑solving and technical skills. STEAM adds the Arts, blending creativity with innovation.
Everyone loves LEGO, and our STEAM labs are the perfect way for kids to learn while having a blast! Each lab boasts over fifty pounds of LEGO, sparking excitement as soon as the bags are opened. You’ll hear the kids’ delighted gasps and shouts of joy as they exclaim, “These are the most LEGOs I’ve ever seen!” But there’s more—these labs also include unique LEGO sets that enhance the learning experience, setting them apart from the standard free play offered at schools or libraries. Don’t miss out on this exceptional opportunity for your child to engage with STEM concepts in a fun and creative way!
LEGO STEAM Minifigure Lab
Get ready for an unforgettable LEGO experience! In this workshop, kids can let
their imagination soar by creating their very own unique LEGO minifigure and
putting it through three exciting challenges. With enough parts to create over
three hundred different minifigures, your child will have endless possibilities
to craft a character that is entirely their own. Plus, the best part is that every
time a child creates a minifigure, they get to give it a unique biography,
turning it into their very own friend.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! After crafting their new companion, the
children’s LEGO friends will go through three exciting STEAM challenges. And
the best part? Children are allowed to proceed at their own pace, so they can
take their time and enjoy every moment of this thrilling experience.
This workshop is perfect for children aged six and up, but even tweens and
teens will love it! With all materials provided, there’s no need to worry about
anything. Just come ready to have fun and to let your creativity run wild! Please note that children will not be able to take their minifigures home, but
they will leave with unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

The Bubble STEM Lab
Join in the wonder of bubbles! The Bubble STEM Lab is an exciting and interactive bubble playground designed to spark curiosity and joy in children. Our DJ quality bubble machines will fill the area with countless bubbles for kids to play with and explore. With six bubble centers featuring a variety of bubble fluid and toys, children can engage in hands-on learning about the fascinating science of bubbles. The atmosphere is enhanced with clear beach balls that resemble giant bubbles, and the kids can enjoy lively, bubble-themed music like “Under the Sea” and “Yellow Submarine” while they play. The experience not only provides fun but also fosters the development of motor skills in younger children and scientific knowledge in older children. Join us for an unforgettable hour of discovery and delight.
STEM Educational Standards Connections
Science (NGSS)
- Physical Science (PS1, PS2):
- Explore matter and its interactions through bubble fluid ingredients and surface tension.
- Investigate forces and motion by observing how bubbles float, rise, and pop.
- Earth & Space Science (ESS2):
- Observe how air pressure and gases affect bubble formation.
- Scientific Practices:
- Children ask questions, make predictions, and test bubble solutions (scientific method).
- Record observations (size, shape, longevity of bubbles) to analyze patterns.
Technology
- Use of Bubble Machines:
- Demonstrates how tools and technology enhance experiments.
- Encourages children to compare machine-made bubbles vs. hand-made wands.
Engineering
- Engineering Design Standards (ETS1):
- Kids can design and test bubble wands of different shapes and materials.
- Apply iterative design: hypothesize, build, test, and refine.
- Problem-Solving:
- Challenges like making square or cube-shaped bubbles encourage creative engineering.
Mathematics
- Geometry & Measurement:
- Identify shapes (spheres, cubes, cylinders) in bubble experiments.
- Estimate and measure bubble diameters, lifespans, and counts.
- Patterns & Data:
- Record bubble outcomes and compare across different fluids or tools.
Early Childhood Development
- Motor Skills:
- Younger children develop gross motor skills by chasing and popping bubbles.
