STEAM NIGHTS at Laurelhurst Elementary: S cience, T echnology, E ngineering, A rt and M ath.
Join us for three nights of fun, experiments and explorations of the arts and sciences in the cafeteria.
Wednesday, January 20 – 6:30 pm – Discovering Science
Up, Up and Away with Mad Science
This spellbinding special event illustrates the principles of air pressure. Students will be astonished as a soda bottle is crushed by the atmosphere, and will learn how the forces at work affect the world around us. Mad Scientists will make a hot air balloon out of a dry-cleaning bag and have a volunteer demonstrate the science behind a parachute. Watch a vortex generator at work, ride a hovercraft, and see how pressure can be used to create cinematic special effects! It’s all possible when
you send kids Up, Up and Away!
Wednesday, March 9 – 6:30 pm – Building LEGO/Robotics
Learn to solve problems and to build robots with LEGOS! This will be a fun night of learning about robotics; while playing with everyone’s favorite toy! This exciting night is sponsored by LASER.
Wednesday, May 4 – 6:30 pm – Exploring Artists
The Art Explorers will be hosting an art night with multiple art stations featuring the artist studied throughout the school year.
