Are you interested in fun yet educational activities that the whole family (adults and kids alike) can enjoy? Then you’re in for a treat with the following event where you can unleash your inner scientist every month!
Build a working waterwheel, investigate sustainable energy solutions, and create electricity by pedaling a bike-powered generator during Homeschool Day at the Science Mill Energy this January 27th in Johnson City. These Homeschool Days aim to educate young Texan scientists in STEM careers and activities and occur once a month from January 2022-May 2022. This January 2022, the program will focus on “Energy”. Other activities for attendees include DIY flashlights, living murals, and career-centric information which includes possible at-home activities.
Shine a light on a career in energy as you have fun fueling your curiosity with these fun, energy-centric activities. Enrich your experience in the Learning Labs where you will get to survey fossil fuels in a DIY geological model (K-2nd grade), engineer mini wind turbines (3rd-5th grade) and design solar water heaters (6th-12th grade). Everyone is welcome to join the Homeschool Day, especially young scientists who possess the love for science.
