This month we are exploring light and sound science! Make your own instruments, light paintings, and explore STEM careers in music technology this month through our various floor activities and learning labs.
Floor Activities
Oobleck on a Speaker - Guests will see unique visualizations of sound waves using newtonian fluid and speakers
Make Your Own Instrument - Guests will create their own instruments to demonstrate how sound is created and how it can be transmitted

Learning Labs
K-2 Xylophone Water Jars - Students will learn about how sound is made, how sound travels, and apply that knowledge to create their own xylophones using water jars
3-5 & 6-12 Sound Science - Students will explore how sound is made, how sound travels, and learn about careers in music production as they explore different sound-based experiments and create their own sound paintings
STEM Mentorship Hour
Fantastic Foley Fun - Students will apply what they learned about sound science and music production to become foley artists and create sound effects for a movie scene
