Join us as we kick off this year's winter break with the Fast & Curious event! This month will be jam packed with hands-on STEM challenges, such as the No Hands Cup Stacking Challenge and building a Da Vinci bridge. Guests can catch daily STEM demonstrations, including elephant toothpaste, and even compete against our Science Mill staff in Breath Power Challenge.
Plus, get a sneak peek at our upcoming event, Imagination Unboxed! This month’s theme lets you design and create your very own Fast & Curious cars. It’s the perfect way to spend winter break having fun and learning! Are you Ready! STEM! Go!
ACTIVITIES
DaVinci Bridge - Calling all future Engineers! Come use your engineering skills to build a Da Vinci Bridge using only popsicle sticks! Balance and precise placement are key to building this bridge. Are you up for the challenge?
No Hands Challenge - Can you stack cups in only one minute... with no hands? Guests will work in teams to stack cups using simple materials, all within a one-minute time limit. Get ready for some creative problem-solving and a race against the clock!
Fast & Curious Cars: A Cardboard Challenge - Get ready to rev your curiousity into high gear! This month’s theme is "Fast & Curious!" Join us in creating your very own "Fast & Curious" car using only cardboard!
SCIENCE DEMOS
Foam Frenzy - Join us in investigating and observing the signs of a chemical reaction in the Elephant Toothpaste experiment. By mixing hydrogen peroxide and yeast, they will create a reaction that produces a rapidly growing foam. During the experiment, guests will observe the production of heat and gas and explore the factors that affect the outcome of the reactiion. They will also apply their knowledge to better understand chemical reactions they may encounter in everyday life and the real world.
Breath Power Challenge - Do you have what it takes to beat our Science Mill staff? Join us for Breath Power Challenge! This STEM challenge will definitely test your breath control. Guests will compete to see how many breaths it takes to fill our wind bag and whether they can outsmart our knowledgeable Science Mill staff.

NEW EXHIBIT ALERT!
Be one of the first to take our new exhibit for a spin! Fueling the Fast Lane challenges players to race across a simulated Texas landscape, comparing the carbon footprints of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, Electric Vehicles (EVs), and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFEV). Players must navigate various environmental factors such as weather and terrain to determine which vehicle type can achieve the smallest carbon footprint while completing the journey.
Check out this new one-of-a-kind exhibit in Studio 5.
