Wisconsin Science Festival - Ask. Think. Learn. Share. in The Lab
Wednesday, October 16, 2024 from 09:00am to 04:00pm
Wisconsin Science Festival
The Building For Kids Children's Museum
100 West College Avenue
Experience Building for Kids’ recently refreshed activity space, The Lab!
The Lab is designed to facilitate hands-on experiences that build observational skills and inspire curiosity of the world around us. In The Lab, visitors are able to practice the scientific method through four steps: Ask. Think. Learn. Share. Kids will have the opportunity to investigate various topics as they build skills around asking questions, thinking through problems, learning as they test their solutions, and sharing their findings.
To help encourage STEM exploration for all ages, The Lab will host daily activities around a variety of quarterly themes that encourage inquiry, experimentation, and collaboration. During the month of October, we will be exploring Robotics!
As part of the experience, kids will also learn more about what a lab is like by wearing proper protective equipment and using real-world tools and instruments for their scientific investigations. Scientists and engineers from our community will regularly host activities within The Lab to expose kids to different STEM fields and careers.
