Brett made their events a success. Yours could be next!

Thanks for this exceptional program. Had 104 in attendance. One of the best programs yet!!!!! Please let him perform here again!!!!!Program was interesting to children and adults overall scores of public evaluation was a 5 (out of 5). Brett was entertaining and animated, lively kept everyone’s attention. Would definitely want him back!

Cathy Diefenbach

Fort Worth Library

“I thought you did a great job! I know it makes it kind of difficult when the ages vary so much. You seemed to be able to keep their attention. We look forward to having you back some time, hopefully in our new building!”

Elaine Turbo

Aubrey Area Library

“The show was great! Even though our presentation area is small and the crowd was large, Brett was successful in keeping the crowds attention. Everyone enjoyed it so much. We have received great positive feedback!”

Becky Benidect

Krum Public Library

These aren’t lectures where kids sit and watch. Children build, experiment, create, test, and discover while learning important concepts in science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

Choose from three exciting hands-on programs: the LEGO STEAM Minifigure Lab, LEGO STEAM Race Car Lab, and Bubble STEM Lab.

Hands-On STEM & STEAM Learning

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEAM adds Art and creativity to the mix.

Brett’s STEM and STEAM programs turn those subjects into activities kids can’t wait to try. Instead of simply being told how something works, children get the opportunity to ask questions, solve problems, build models, test ideas, make changes, and try again.

They’re educational—but to the kids, they feel like play.

LEGO STEAM Minifigure Lab

Give kids LEGO pieces and their imaginations immediately go to work!

In the LEGO STEAM Minifigure Lab, children create their own unique LEGO minifigure and then put their new character through three hands-on STEAM challenges.

With enough pieces to create hundreds of different characters, every child can design something different. Kids even create a biography for their minifigure, adding art, creativity, storytelling, and writing to the STEM experience.

Then the real challenges begin!

Children use their LEGO creations to explore concepts involving force, weight, balance, measurement, structure, stability, problem-solving, and engineering design.

Everyone works at their own pace, giving kids time to experiment, make discoveries, and find their own solutions.

The LEGO STEAM Minifigure Lab is designed for children ages six and older and can also be enjoyed by tweens and teens. All materials are provided.

Minifigures are used during the program and are not taken home.

LEGO STEAM Race Car Lab

Build it. Race it. Change it. Race it again!

The LEGO STEAM Race Car Lab turns a love of LEGO and racing into a hands-on lesson in physics, engineering, and problem-solving.

Kids build their own LEGO race cars using approximately 50 pounds of LEGO pieces, then test their creations on an impressive 30-foot racetrack.

Along the way, children explore the science behind motion, including:

  • Gravity
  • Inertia
  • Friction
  • Force
  • Push and pull
  • Weight and balance
  • Measurement
  • Engineering design

When a car doesn’t perform the way a child expected, that’s part of the fun. Kids can investigate what happened, make changes to their designs, and test them again.

That’s exactly what engineers do!

The LEGO Race Car STEM activity combines science and engineering with the excitement of building and racing, making it an excellent program for elementary schools, public libraries, camps, and children’s educational events.

The Bubble STEM Lab

What happens when you turn bubbles into a science laboratory?

Kids can’t resist finding out!

The Bubble STEM Lab is an interactive, hands-on science program for children that uses bubbles to explore STEM concepts through experimentation and play.

Professional bubble machines fill the area with bubbles while children rotate through six interactive bubble centers featuring different bubble solutions, wands, and activities.

Kids can explore scientific concepts including:

  • Surface tension
  • Air and gases
  • Force and motion
  • Shapes and geometry
  • Measurement
  • Patterns
  • Scientific observation
  • Engineering and design

Children can make predictions, experiment with different bubble tools, compare results, and discover how changing a design can change what a bubble does.

Younger children also practice gross motor and sensory skills as they chase, catch, and pop bubbles, while older children can dig deeper into the science behind what they’re seeing.

It’s part STEM lab, part bubble playground, and completely hands-on.

STEM Programs for Schools, Libraries & Kids’ Events

Brett Roberts’ STEM and STEAM programs for kids are designed to make learning active, memorable, and fun.

These programs are a great fit for:

Elementary Schools • Public Libraries • STEM Nights • STEAM Nights • Family Science Nights • Camps • After-School Programs • Educational Events • Community Programs

Programs incorporate concepts connected to NGSS science practices, engineering design, mathematics, measurement, communication, and problem-solving.

Most importantly, children aren’t just hearing about STEM.

They’re doing it.

    • 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.
